BEFORE BOILING:

Before cooking, we clean the fresh button mushrooms, wash and dry.

HOW TO BOIL:

Button mushrooms thrown into the cold water to provide sufficient water to the mushrooms were completely covered it. Fresh button mushrooms cook for 3-5 minutes. Time start to count from the moment of boiling water. In the event of doubt as to the species of mushrooms cooked replace the water during cooking (1-2 times) or give up their consumption! If we do not have any doubt, changing the water during cooking it is not necessary. When cooking, we take off the foam. At the end of the cooking water with salt. For flavor you can add pepper, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, marjoram, bay leaf. Cook covered. Cooked mushrooms are soft and delicate.

When cooked, drain off the button mushrooms and dry.
