He makes appetizing marinated shiitake mushrooms , relying on dill, parsley and ... garlic for the incomparable taste and aroma, of course. This is how...
Saute the mushrooms in a small saucepan, the time depending on their size and how fleshy they are and varies from 1 to 2 minutes. It is advisable to trust the watch at this time, instead of acting on the eye.
| * Sauteing is a short heat treatment of food, which uses a minimum amount of fat, as opposed to frying. Another characteristic moment of the process is the temperature of the hob, which must be high and the oil must be well heated. |
Once the mushrooms are ready, take them out in a suitable container, close with a lid and leave for a while.
Take care of the preparation of the other products.
Finely chop the dill and parsley, onion - a little large, not too small, and peel the garlic cloves and leave whole.
| Aromatic spices that will give a wonderful taste to Shiitake mushrooms. |
Mix these ingredients, add sea salt and mix thoroughly so that the resulting combination releases its juices, flavors and aromas, as well as salting evenly.
The next step is to arrange the mushrooms in a jar (or several). To do this, you need to successively put a row of shiitake and a row of stuffing in the glass container, while pressing the mushrooms with your fingers.
When the jar is full, pour in the liquid that has separated from the mushrooms while they are resting, and you are preparing the aromatic mixture for the marinade.
| This "brine" contains enough condensed water and oil, so you do not need to add them to the jar. |
Leave the mushrooms prepared in this way overnight at room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.
You can consume after 2-5 days at your discretion. During this time, the aromatic spices will have flavored the mushrooms and the liquid in the jar.
