- Cooking mushroom dishes: preparation
- Do you want to cook mushrooms? Pay attention to a couple of points:
- - Choose fresh mushrooms. Tinned or frozen, they no longer contain as many nutrients as fresh ones and taste completely different.
- - To clean the mushrooms, do not rinse them with water, otherwise the aroma and vitamins may disappear. Mushrooms can be easily removed with a brush or kitchen paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Cooking mushrooms: raw
Champignons, like other healthy vegetables, can be eaten raw. This not only gives you the advantage of fast cooking, but also ensures that all the nutrients are obtained. But remember not to overdo it: mushrooms are difficult for the body to assimilate, besides, some do not tolerate raw mushrooms poorly, which can lead to flatulence. It is best to use them raw for salad.

Fried mushrooms
When fried, mushrooms lose some of their nutrients due to the high temperature. On the other hand, they fully reveal their scent.
To fry the mushrooms, you need a large skillet so that they are well done on all sides.

- 250 grams of champignons, - a couple of tablespoons of butter, - 3 cloves of garlic, - 2 red shallots, - salt and pepper if desired, - a handful of fresh chopped parsley.

4. After about 4 minutes add the onion and garlic.
5. Fry for about three minutes.
6. Season the fried mushrooms with salt and pepper and add the parsley.
Step 5
Steam mushrooms
Often times, mushrooms are steamed because of the relatively low temperature so that they retain more nutrients than when they are fried. Here they also acquire a strong aromatic taste that blends well with the aromas of herbs. The less oil is added, the less nutritious the meal is. Steamed mushrooms can be served with both meat and vegetarian dishes, such as pasta.
