How to properly process pigs for boiling and frying?
Since these mushrooms are considered conditionally edible, their pre-processing must be treated extremely responsibly. You can’t just wash pigs, boil them once and eat them. In order not to harm your health, do not ignore the need for proper processing of these mushrooms.
- As soon as the mushrooms arrive at your home, you need to immediately start processing them. Since dirt, dried leaves, etc. can often be seen on pigs, they need to be thoroughly cleaned. If you can’t simply remove all the debris with your hands, soak the mushrooms in water for half an hour, and then, when the twigs and leaves are wet, clean the mushrooms from them.
- Next, place all the mushrooms in a container with water, the water should completely cover them. Pour cold water and add a little salt. We keep the mushrooms in this state for at least 5 hours.
- After the specified time, drain the water from the pigs, wash them and perform the same procedure again.
To start, you need to rinse the pigs thoroughly.
- After this, chop the large mushrooms into 2-3 parts, leave the small ones whole and transfer them to a container of water, which we put on the fire. Boil the mushrooms for half an hour and drain the water from them, rinse the product and repeat the procedure, but this time salt the water at the rate of 1 tsp per 1 kg of pigs. salt. After half an hour, drain the water again, wash the mushrooms and boil them again according to the same principle.
- Place the finished mushrooms in a colander and let the water drain.
- Then the pigs can be fried, frozen, stewed, etc.
- It is recommended to boil the mushrooms at least 2 times for half an hour, but it will be better if you are not lazy and boil them at least 3 times.
Already boiled pigs can be fried; this process should take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the fire at which the mushrooms are fried.
- You can fry pigs in sunflower and butter. But most often they are prepared using a mixture of these two products.
- Mushrooms are most flavorful when cooked with onions, garlic and herbs. For spices, you can use Provençal, Italian herbs, nutmeg, and ground black pepper.
Boiled mushrooms can then be fried.
If desired, these mushrooms can be frozen. This is an excellent way out of a situation where there are a lot of mushrooms and you won’t be able to eat them several times. Simply pack the boiled mushrooms into bags, so that one serving of mushrooms is in one bag, and place them in the freezer. Then, if necessary, take out the product, defrost it and cook. Also, pigs are often salted and pickled, but we will tell you how to do this a little later.
Features of the view
The mushroom belongs to the Svinushkov family and has several popular names: solokha, dunka, svinukha, black milk mushroom. They got their name from the appearance of dark spots on the surface after touching, which look like dirt on a pig.

Fat pigs prefer shady areas. The growth period of pigs begins in the spring and continues until frost, which is partly why they are popular.

How to clean pigs. How to peel mushrooms: practical tips
Fans and professionals of mushroom picking see this process as a kind of ritual. Indeed, choosing a day, a place, an hour-long search, and finally, the found mushroom goes into a basket or bucket.

General recommendations
Many people ask the question “do I need to peel mushrooms?”, and the answer of any experienced mushroom picker will be “yes”. After all, this will significantly reduce the risk of future food poisoning and prevent the transfer of pests from infected specimens to healthy ones. Therefore, make sure in advance that you have a small and convenient knife, which will not only perfectly cut the mushroom, but also remove twigs and other forest debris from its surface, and scrape the stem.
Also, in the question of how to clean mushrooms, an excellent solution would be a hard sponge, which can be used to more thoroughly remove various small particles, such as sand. When you see characteristic holes, do not be afraid to cut the mushroom in order to remove the worm. After the manipulations have been carried out, it is best to place the treated mushroom in salt water, which will prevent the harvest from spoiling (it will not turn black) and force unfound pests to escape.

How to clean mushrooms
General recommendations for cleaning fresh forest mushrooms were outlined above. However, some of them have certain nuances in cleaning:
- boletus should be thoroughly cleaned of sand due to the characteristics of their growth, and the special film should be removed from the skin of the cap. This will improve the taste of cooked mushrooms, in addition, this is an excellent method for identifying false mushrooms (their film cannot be easily removed);
- Porcini mushrooms (including boletus mushrooms) should be thoroughly wiped with a damp sponge, the cap should be removed, and the edge of the stem should be removed to make sure there are no worms. It is best to scrape off dirt with a knife. In severe cases, pre-soaking will help, after which the dirt is removed with a sponge, and the mushroom is washed under running water;
- Before peeling milk mushrooms, they need to be left in water for a day, remembering to change it periodically. Then you can easily remove unnecessary components with a brush;
- saffron milk caps are very rarely dirty, so in this case you can use a damp sponge or rag. Next, you should rinse them under water and cut off the long legs;
- chanterelles need to cut off the leg contaminated with sand and leave them in water for 15 minutes. After this, any dirt can be removed with a sponge;
- Before you properly clean champignon mushrooms (or the more rare name of pecheritsa), you need to remember one rule - these forest mushrooms should not be in water for a long time, because they begin to absorb it. Simply wipe them with a wet sponge and cut off the tip of the stem. More clearly demonstrated in this video:

Edible - inedible hit
Svinushka is a unique mushroom in many ways. All lovers of quiet hunting have long known that this mushroom is dangerous to human health, however, it continues to be collected and eaten in huge quantities from year to year. Svinushka is indeed edible after a long preliminary preparation, but this mushroom is never completely safe.
Svinushki belong to the category of conditionally edible, but were prohibited for consumption in Russia back in 1981.
The problem is that these mushrooms contain toxins that are not completely destroyed by either long soaking or heat treatment. Therefore, with the constant consumption of these mushrooms as food, these toxins slowly accumulate in the body, gradually causing irreparable damage to the immune system and destroying red blood cells. All this, taken together, can lead to the development of various serious diseases, including kidney failure.
However, the degree of harm that pigs can cause to the human body greatly depends on the individual characteristics of a particular person, the amount of mushrooms eaten, the degree of consistency in their consumption, and other variables. There are equally known cases of severe poisoning by pigs, as well as examples of their harmless consumption for decades. Therefore, the question of whether to eat or not to eat these controversial mushrooms is decided by everyone strictly individually.
The traditions of eating pigs, however, are very extensive, and this article explains how to easily and correctly cook pigs, whether they can be eaten without special preparation, how to properly process these mushrooms before culinary use, and presents several simple recipes for preparing these mushrooms.

Preliminary preparation
As already mentioned, before preparing any food from pigs, they need to be carefully prepared for this. Eating these mushrooms without special pre-treatment is extremely dangerous. In addition to their own toxins accumulating in them, pigs, like a sponge, absorb numerous harmful substances from the environment, so preliminary preparation of pigs for further use is vital. It includes three stages - cleaning, soaking and boiling.
Cleaning
- Fruiting bodies should be cleared of forest debris and dirt. The stickiest stains can be removed with an old toothbrush. Mushrooms must be carefully sorted and specimens that are too damaged by rot or insects must be eliminated. If the area of damage is small, they can be carefully removed with a knife. You also need to trim the very bottom of the leg.
- Next, the fruiting bodies should be thoroughly washed under running water.
Soaking
An important part of the preliminary preparation of pigs for further culinary processing is their soaking. The fruiting bodies need to be soaked in salted water, twice, for 7 hours, and fresh and clean water should be poured each time.
Boiling
After soaking the pork twice, you can cook it. The total time these mushrooms spend in the pan should be at least 100 minutes. You should never neglect the rules for boiling pigs, as this is the only way to make them edible. It is necessary to boil the pigs in salted water. On average, 1 kg per boil. pigs require 1 liter of water and 1 tablespoon of salt.

Should you boil mushrooms before frying or not?
A novice housewife will definitely face this question. And many decide that it is better to play it safe than to worry about the safety of their products. To feel confident, of course, it is better to know for sure which mushrooms need additional heat treatment and which do not. Let's take a closer look at the rules.
Does not require pre-boiling
Edible and conditionally edible mushrooms are prepared differently. Edible mushrooms can be fried immediately. These include:
- white;
- boletus;
- flywheels;
- boletus;
- boletus;
- chanterelles;
- saffron milk caps;
- umbrellas;
- Champignon;
- hedgehogs;
- rows;
- oyster mushrooms;
- Russula;
- honey mushrooms
Fried mushrooms
Naturally, additional heat treatment of edible mushrooms will not harm the human body. But their nutritional value decreases, the specific mushroom aroma weakens and the taste deteriorates. And some mushrooms become slippery even after boiling for a short time.
Must be boiled
But conditionally edible mushrooms must be boiled before frying. This helps reduce toxicity to a safe level and eliminate the acrid taste: the toxic substances of such a mushroom dissolve in water when heated, we pour it out, and the mushrooms themselves become edible. Be sure to boil:
- ordinary lines;
- pink waves;
- brittle and stinging russula;
- milk mushrooms are black and yellow.
Because of the bitter taste, all those mushrooms that have a burning milky juice are soaked and boiled:
- camphor, alder and sweetish laticifers;
- bitters;
- violins;
- earrings;
- white loading pads;
- some types of russula, pigs and talkers;
- moths;
- some other mushrooms.
When cooked, the bitterness transfers to the water, and the taste of the mushrooms improves significantly. Many summer residents explain the need for preliminary boiling by the fact that this will additionally clean the mushrooms from environmental pollution.
Some mushrooms need to be boiled first
Be that as it may, you need to rely both on theoretical data about the group affiliation of mushrooms, and on local conditions and traditions. It’s good if knowledge about mushrooms is passed on from generation to generation. In such families, “mushroom” troubles almost never happen.

Having prepared the necessary ingredients, let's start preparing the soup:
- We will cook the soup using chicken broth, so we will prepare it initially. To do this, wash the soup set and put it in a saucepan, into which we also fill with water. Cook the broth for about 40 minutes, this should be enough time, since the chicken cooks very quickly. During the cooking process, foam will appear; it must be skimmed off.
- While the broth is preparing, we will prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into small cubes.
- Peel the onion and chop finely.
- Peel the carrots, wash them and grate them.
- Peel the garlic and chop it with a knife.
- Wash the parsley, dry it and finely chop it.
- For this recipe, we will use already boiled mushrooms, but if desired, you can use frozen ones (in this case, the product must be thawed).
- Pour the specified amount of oil into the frying pan and fry the onions and carrots in it for 5 minutes.
- Next, add garlic to the vegetables and cook for a couple more minutes.
- We take out the soup set from the broth; if desired, the meat can be separated from the bones and returned to the pan.
- Next, put the mushrooms in the container and cook the contents of the pan for 15 minutes.
- After the specified time, add potatoes and frying to the container, season the soup with salt and spices and cook for another 15 minutes.
- After the specified time has passed, add 2 cheeses to the soup; it is not necessary to chop them, they will melt well, and the greens. The cheeses must be of high quality; do not replace them with cheese products, otherwise you will not get the creamy taste of the soup.
- Cook the soup for another 10 minutes with the lid closed, and then steep the dish for the same amount of time.
- Can be served with garlic croutons.
Svinushki are universal mushrooms that can be salted, pickled, fried, stewed and even frozen. Dishes made from these mushrooms are tasty and aromatic.
Fried mushrooms without boiling
Experienced mushroom pickers, knowing well the properties of the mushrooms that “caught” in their baskets, believe that boiling definitely edible mushrooms - porcini, chanterelles, champignons, moss mushrooms or boletus - only spoils their taste. Therefore, they immediately throw them into the frying pan.
White mushrooms, chanterelles, champignons, mushrooms or butter mushrooms do not need to be boiled
Let us now look at this, in essence, quite short-term procurement process:
- Peel, rinse and drain the mushrooms brought from the forest in a colander to drain;
- cut all the mushrooms into slices;
- Pour vegetable oil (or a mixture of fats) into a deep frying pan, heat well and add mushrooms to the hot oil;
- With the lid closed, fry them over low heat for about an hour, keeping an eye on them and stirring. During this time they will stew in their own juice;
- then remove the lid and keep the frying pan on the fire until all the mushroom juice has evaporated and the oil becomes clear;
- place the mushrooms directly from the frying pan into dry hot jars , leaving 10-12 mm on top for oil;
- top up with boiling oil from the frying pan;

Storing fried mushrooms
Fried mushrooms are stored in refrigerators, basements or cellars. Under plastic lids they remain suitable for 4-6 months, and rolled up with metal lids they can be stored longer.
Since long-term storage of mushrooms under lids may pose a threat of botulism infection, it is vitally important to take all measures to eliminate this possibility. You can read in detail how to do this in the article Pickling mushrooms for the winter.
Fried mushrooms can also be stored in the freezer. To do this, fried, cooled mushrooms are packaged in plastic containers or plastic bags, excess air is squeezed out of the bags and placed in the freezer. When frozen, such mushrooms will be stored longer, and there will be no risk of contracting botulism.
