Summer has not yet come, and mushroom pickers are already preparing baskets. And no wonder, because quiet hunting can be practiced from May until late autumn. And if picking mushrooms in early May is for connoisseurs, then by the middle of the month you can meet all the well-known and beloved boletus boletus, and there, you see, the boletus has ripened. These spongy mushrooms, along with porcini, are considered elite. They are fried, boiled into soup, sauces are prepared, stewed, dried, marinated - mushrooms are suitable for any cooking method. But before that, the mushrooms need to be cleaned.

Not postponing for later

Mushroom pickers know that preliminary cleaning of mushrooms must be done in the forest. Even if you are a supporter of picking mushrooms by twisting them out of the mycelium, take a knife with you into the forest. It is useful for pre-treatment of the crop.

  1. Before putting the mushroom in the basket, remove the remnants of the earth, adhering twigs, leaves and needles from it.
  2. Remove the wormy pulp, otherwise the worms will damage neighboring mushrooms.
  3. Get rid of poisonous and simply dubious mushrooms. It is better to throw out ten questionable ones than to have one poisonous one in your basket.
  4. In mature mushrooms with a loose sponge, it is better to remove it on the spot, anyway, then you have to throw it away. And once in the basket, the sponge tubes can tightly stick to the caps of neighboring mushrooms and add problems to you during subsequent cleaning.
  5. Old and rotten mushrooms are best thrown away on the spot. Their taste and aroma leaves much to be desired, and a shapeless slippery mass instead of a mushroom can survive before processing.

This processing in the forest can be limited, the rest of the work is done at home.

Time to collect and time to clean

Unprocessed mushrooms are stored for only 6-8 hours from the moment of collection, so after a forest walk the rest will have to be postponed. The cleaning process is much less exciting than picking, but it is not worth removing it from the mushroom processing process in order to preserve the collected one and at the same time not get food poisoning.

If it is not possible to clean the mushrooms immediately, place them in a cool place, you can in the refrigerator. The optimum temperature for such storage is + 2- + 6 degrees. Do not put mushrooms in bags and closed dishes; air should have free access to them. Mushrooms intended for cooking can be poured cold water.

Cleaning Instructions

Both dry and wet cleaning methods are used. For cooking and frying, mushrooms are cleaned in a wet way.

Wet cleaning method

  1. First of all, the harvested crop must be sorted by type and size, and old mushrooms should be separated from young ones. Decide what the mushrooms will do, the method of processing depends on it.
  2. The legs must be separated from the hats, checking for wormholes along the way. Soak slightly wormy mushrooms in salt water - 2 tablespoons of salt are taken per 1 liter of water. In such a font, uninvited guests will leave the mushrooms.
  3. Clean the legs of the outer fibers by scraping with a knife. Many people think that cleaning the legs is not necessary.

    Yes, this does not affect the taste of the dish, but it should be remembered that mushrooms have the ability to absorb all impurities and, first of all, they concentrate on the outer layer. In addition, when cooking unpeeled legs, the broth will begin to turn black.

  4. Remove the wormy and darkened flesh.
  5. Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove debris and dirt from the caps. The skin is not removed from them.
  6. In mature mushrooms, the sponge is cut off. The fact is that mushroom mosquito larvae often lay in it. And the sponge of mature mushrooms itself accumulates spores that are poorly digested. And when cooked, the sponge becomes like slime.
  7. Peeled mushrooms are cut into pieces and washed running water.

Advice! Dirt from mushroom caps is removed more easily if they are soaked in cold water. After 30 minutes or one hour, the dirt will easily come off. You can soak only young strong mushrooms, the old ones strongly absorb water and become limp.

The nuances of further processing for different cooking methods

  • The boletus and boletus intended for drying are processed in a dry way, they cannot be washed or soaked. Mushrooms saturated with water will be impossible to dry, they will become sour and deteriorate. Hats and legs are thoroughly cleaned with a dry cloth or brush. For drying, only young and not wormy mushrooms with dense pulp are selected.
  • Before freezing fresh mushrooms also do not wash or soak. The absorbed water during freezing will break the fibers of the mushrooms and their quality will deteriorate. If boiled mushrooms are frozen, they are processed as usual.
  • In boletus intended for frying, it is better to remove the skin from the cap - when frying, it becomes stiff.
  • Fresh mushrooms will last longer without heat treatment if they are washed, allowed to drain, then scalded with boiling water. After that, lay in glass or enameled dishes in layers, sprinkling with salt. Put the bowl on ice. It is believed that in this form the mushrooms will last a week. Such mushrooms are used for cooking and frying, they cannot be dried and frozen.

Dry processing of mushrooms

This method is used for mushrooms intended for drying and freezing.

  1. With a dry sponge or brush, clean off small debris, lumps of earth, needles, leaves.
  2. Remove strongly adhering leaves and rubbish from the hat with a knife. It happens that the sponge does not cope with this task.
  3. Scrape the leg, scraping off the top layer.
  4. Cut off parts that are damaged and eaten by insects and rodents.

Mushrooms need to be chilled. Chopped onions can be fried together with mushrooms or separately from them.
  3. Then chilled onions and wild mushrooms should be passed through a meat grinder, and then softened stale bread should be sent there. Mix all the ingredients in a deep bowl, add them with chopped herbs, chicken eggs as well as salt and spices. For this, a dense consistency is very important for boletus dishes so that the cutlets do not fall apart during the cooking process. Knead the minced mushroom well, and then place it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

It will be much easier to form cutlets from chilled minced meat. Each must be generously rolled in breadcrumbs for breading. Then fry them in hot sunflower oil on each side. Serve with potatoes. Bon appetit!
