Mushrooms are one of the joys of autumn. A small treasure of the most democratic truffle forest (by the way, have you ever tasted the trumpets of the dead?), But just as delightful and capable of transforming every dish into a concentrate of pleasure for the palate. And although they lend themselves to endless preparations, we end up buying them only to prepare salads, risottos and stews. Are you sure you can't do more?
Before discovering all the recipes that a true mushroom enthusiast should try at least once in his life, let's think about the unusual combinations that we could rely on to upset our habits. And pamper the palate.
With the tarragon: if you love anise, you will like this pairing that gives freshness to the mushrooms. Sauté in a pan with oil and garlic, add salt before finishing cooking and let it cool. You will make them go a couple of minutes with sour cream and drangoncello.
With mint: in Tuscany it is tradition, but for us it can be the most delicious of discoveries. Try it chopped on the porcini mushrooms that you will have cooked in a pan with oil and garlic.
With the apricot: ideal with chanterelles, it can be used with these to prepare sweet and sour farce for game, hare, quail. But also added to minced lamb to prepare exotic and interesting burgers.
With goat cheese: to savor this pairing, choose fresh champignons and fill them with a cream made from herbs and goat cheese after having cooked them in the oven.
With the bacon: grate the morels and the bacon and enjoy them on a slice of grilled bread and seasoned with oil and salt. It will be the best autumn barbecue ever!
With the egg: this combination, explored all over the world, gives an intense aroma to the simplest of omelettes. Prepare it with a mixture of mushrooms in a pan, lots of pepper and a touch of grated cheese.
With seafood: forget the bright tastes of the flat seas and mountains of the trattorie and dedicate yourself to more refined pairings such as clams and chanterelles, prawns and volvarie, but also porcini and mussels.
Did you know that already? Then you know them really well!
