What to cook with frozen honey mushrooms? Surely many mushroom pickers ask this question. These boletus mushrooms hide in the forest in small groups, and honey mushrooms gather in large crowds; you can fill a whole bucket at a time. The easiest way to prepare honey mushrooms is to freeze them. Of course, before this they should be carefully sorted, the roots cut off and washed. Some “collect” frozen mushrooms in grocery stores: the pleasure of picking mushrooms may not be the same, but on the stove the finished result will be no different.

I recommend boiling the gifts of the forest collected with your own hands in two waters - drain the first one, of course, rinse the mushrooms, and add clean water again, in which to cook until tender.
