About the mushrooms to chin

When we talk about mushrooms, we are referring to fungi agaricus bisporus , which are common white mushrooms. Normally, those that are liked, such as portobello, and that belong to the family of agaricaceans, fungi with foot and hat are also pigs. The mushrooms are fleshy, and everything is eaten, both the tronquito and their hat (here we remember that it is really).

5 useful tips for cooking mushrooms to chin

1. If the idea is not to consume the mushrooms at the time, keep them in the refrigerator as soon as possible , in the vegetable drawer, wrapped in a cloth they will endure several days without putting a poor condition.
2. To make this recipe for mushrooms to chin it is recommended to use small champis , so we will not have to cut them and the presentation will look different.
3. It is important that they pay attention when they keep the mushrooms in the refrigerator. Since if they leave them next to products with a strong smell, they grab it right away; Both smell and taste are like sponge.
4. When buying mushrooms it is important to grab mushrooms without spots or cracks, they should not necessarily be completely white; But if we pay attention to this, we would be preventing them from decomposing in two days.
5. I recommend a lot to try different things , such as adding to the mushrooms a little lemon or vinegar juice, I promise you that the taste is unmissable. You can also add some clutchs of serrano ham turning your food into a very complete dish.

Wash or not wash fungi? That is the issue.

This is a question that we ask ourselves a lot, and we have to consider their origin, if they are organic, the type of irrigation they had and more . I know that it is difficult to know all this when we grabbed those of the supermarket and we have no idea because processes passed, then ...

Some recommend cleaning them with a rag only to remove excess soil, others recommend passing them through water, but you have to be careful, since these small fungi are like spongy and could be absorbing a lot of liquid that they do not need.

The important thing is that never keep the fungi if they are wet. On the contrary, if we wash the fungi with water, you can not cook them while they are wet, that will cause the water to evaporate and its texture is terrible.

So, an important topic in this adventure is drying. After washing them, you will need to let them dry for an hour before cooking them. The result makes the wait worthwhile.
