2 easy preparation ideas

On returning home, clean the mushrooms by gently scraping them with a small knife. If any soil remains, a quick rinse with clean water should be enough to remove the last of the debris.

Then, eat them quickly as mushrooms become toxic as they age. They can also be stored in the freezer, dried or put in jars. This way you can cook them throughout the year.

Now to your pans in order to cook your mushrooms!

Here are family recipe ideas, simple and gourmet for an authentic local cuisine. No need to weigh or measure, let the chef in you express himself.

Whether it’s chanterelles, porcini or other mushrooms, it’s foolproof. Fry your mushrooms in olive oil and add some onions, salt, pepper and parsley. Don’t cook for too long as the mushroom will reduce quickly.

It’s already ready!
