Use a paper towel or a pastry brush to remove the dirt from chanterelles or quickly wash and leave them on a kitchen towel to dry.

Sautée chopped shallots and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, then add barley and coat it with oil. Add wine and let it evaporate and then add ALL the broth to the skillet and cover it with a lid.

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and cook sage leaves over medium-high heat until they change color. Transfer to a paper towel. I like to use tongs for that, as well as for cooking mushrooms.

Add roughly chopped chanterelles to the oil and cook until the released liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes on medium heat.

Once the barley is cooked until al dente but a bit of liquid is still there (about 40-45 minutes), add the mushrooms, goat cheese and sage to the skillet and combine. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve right away garnished with a few beautiful chanterelles, goat cheese and sage leaves. Enjoy!
