Selection and preparation of ingredients
Before cooking, the mushrooms are sorted, removing worms and old ones. Then they are cleaned of dirt, moss, leaves. Lightly washed with water, laid in a colander. This will not allow them to absorb excess moisture. Then proceed to cooking. Forest mushrooms are more fragrant and tasty than store mushrooms, so experienced housewives recommend combining several types in one dish.
Important! Mushrooms are conditionally edible mushrooms with bitterness, so before you cook them, you need to soak them in salted brine, consisting of 20 g of salt and 1 liter of water. Soak the milk in it for 2 days. Change the brine every 6–7 hours. As soon as the bitterness is gone - they are ready for further processing.
This enriches it with beneficial nutrients and vibrant aromas. If the legs are dry and hard - cut them. If not, leave it as it is. Cut thick specimens in half and try to maintain the shape of the mushroom. If they are fairly thin, they can be fried whole.
