Cut the fried mushrooms into small pieces, season with salt and pepper, put in an even layer in an enamel or plastic tray.

Also pepper in moderation, brush with mayonnaise. Top with boiled potatoes, grated or finely chopped.

A tasty and satisfying, albeit very high-calorie dish is stewed mushrooms with onions and smoked sternum. For cooking, you will need 500 grams of fresh mushrooms, 2 medium onions, 200 grams of low-fat smoked brisket, a little vegetable oil, salt and spices to taste. Cut the onion into thin half rings and fry in highly heated vegetable oil until golden brown. Immediately after this, use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion to a small saucepan or saucepan, and put the brisket, cut into small pieces, into the pan where it was fried.
Fry it for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, then transfer to the onion. In the same skillet, fry the mushrooms, cut into thin slices. Then put them in a bowl with onions and brisket, salt, add spices, pour in a little boiling water and simmer over low heat under the lid until tender. Sprinkle herbs such as dill, green onions, or parsley on top of the dish if you like. Add a clove of garlic to the dish for flavor.
