The great vegetable dish. This time I used salted mushroom .

As Estonia has an abundance of forest, we like to pick berries and mushrooms.

and for winter Mushrooms are marinated, or salted or fermented. Or dried

Salted mushroom:
How to remove additional salt are a lot of tips.
My South Estonian relatives told me that they boiling salted mushroom in milk. And after that mushroom look and taste like a fresh.
Second option is  to boil mushroom just in the water.
And the simplest one.  Put mushroom to soak the night before.

Fresh chanterelle: The mushrooms are cleaned without water, with only a clean, dry towel and paring knife. Heat the chanterelle in a skillet without fat/butter until water has evaporated.

Frozen mushroom : melt, fry slightly.

  2. Ruta, these look so good. Interesting, I’ve not used salted mushroom. Dried and frozen yes, but not salted. I must investigate this, as we had a bumper crop of wild mushrooms this fall, and I would like to test other methods of preserving.
    For your recipe, can you clarify one ingredient? When you say “turnip” do you mean the white turnip or the yellowish turnip we call kålrötter and UK calls a Swede.
