Cooking features

If you want the mushroom sauce to be tasty and appetizing, then you need to take into account several important points in its preparation.

The sauce will turn out more fragrant if frozen porcini mushrooms are used for its preparation, however, it can be made from other forest mushrooms or champignons.

  • The question of whether it is necessary to defrost mushrooms before cooking, depends on the recipe chosen. Some recipes do not involve whipping the sauce until smooth with a blender, as the sauce, which contains noticeable pieces of mushrooms, is good in its own way. However, mushrooms in this case must be cut much less than in the package. Then they will have to be thawed. It is advisable to defrost the mushrooms even if you want to fry them until golden brown: otherwise they will be stewed in their own juice, and not fried. In all other cases, it is not necessary to defrost the mushrooms before preparing the sauce.
  • In order to thicken the sauce, starch or flour is most often used, but there are other ways. For example, using cheese. When using flour, it is advisable to pre-fry it in a dry frying pan or in butter. Then the sauce will get a pleasant cream color and will be tastier.
