Instruction manual
1
White mushrooms or champignons are well suited for making broth from fresh mushrooms. Peel the mushrooms, rinse thoroughly in cool water and cut into small pieces. Then put them in a pan and pour liquid at the rate of 200 grams of mushrooms per 1 liter of water. Put the pot on the fire and bring to a boil. Cook mushrooms for 30 minutes. Mushroom broth is ready. You can add vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions), cereals (pearl barley, rice) to it, or use it as a basis for mashed soup.
2
For broth from dried mushrooms, take 70-100 grams of mushrooms and pour them with 1 liter of cold purified water. Leave the mushrooms in the liquid for approximately 3-3.5 hours.
3
Then bring the swollen mushrooms over low heat to a boil under a tightly closed lid. Cook them until they become soft (25-30 minutes). When heating and cooking, try to avoid strong boiling, which leads to the loss of a specific mushroom taste and aroma.
4
Strain the prepared broth, and rinse the mushrooms with cold boiled water. If the mushrooms are large enough, cut them into thin slices, fry together with onions for several minutes in a heated frying pan. Put the strained mushroom broth on low heat and wait for boiling. Add boiled potatoes to the boiling liquid. After the potatoes become soft, dip the mushrooms in the broth with onions, salt it and bring to a boil.
5
You can soak dried mushrooms in milk or a mixture of milk with water. After the time allotted for swelling, drain the remaining liquid into a separate bowl, and fill the mushrooms with fresh, cool water. Cook them over low heat for 20-25 minutes, adding the drained milk infusion about five minutes before the end of cooking.
Useful advice
