Simple rules for preparing mushrooms
- Due to the fact that champignons have very thin skin and themselves have a rather soft pore structure, the time required for scalding (to clean) or soaking (to remove bitterness) is reduced to 7 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively, maximum. However, in order not to spoil the taste of these wonderful fruits, their preliminary cooking should be carried out over minimal heat for a minimum amount of time.
- When adding spices, you should be guided by the principles of balance and minimalism, in which the combination of spices should be almost equal, and their ratio relative to the entire mass of mushrooms should be minimal; this will not only preserve the juiciness of the fruit, but also their original and sometimes truly unique taste. So bitter spices should not be used in sweet mushrooms, hot ones in sour ones, sweet ones in salty ones, and so on...
- Defrost mushrooms, if required, try as slowly as possible. For example, first of all, let the fruit remove the ice crust by placing it in a freezer with a temperature lower than in a store freezer. Then you can put the product in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, and then bring it outside to warm up to room temperature. If possible, try not to use warm water or a water bath, as quick defrosting methods destroy the structure of the pulp and kill the taste.
- Any mushroom requires careful cleaning and champignons are no exception. Even store-bought ones require scalding and cleaning of even small dark inclusions.
- When stewing, it is worth considering the balance maintained between oil and water, since if there is too much of the former, active frying will begin, and if water dominates in the emulsion, cooking will begin. Quenching, in turn, is something in between these processes, respectively.
Now that you know exactly how to prepare your mushrooms for further cooking, we can smoothly move on to the main recipe.
