Selection and preparation of ingredients
To make the finished dish tasty and healthy, you need to choose a quality main ingredient in the store and properly prepare it for cooking.
In this case, you must follow the recipe and follow these recommendations:
- for cooking dishes choose fresh mushrooms with a flat surface, without spots and rot;
- the peel from the surface of the cap and the legs of the fruit body are carefully removed with a knife;
- remove dirt, and also cut off the darkened places on the pulp;
- the inner surface of the cap is cleaned of a white film.
Important! Peeled fresh mushrooms can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than a day. With longer storage, the product loses its taste and begins to deteriorate.
