Despite the fact that cowsheds (also called pigs) were transferred from the group of conditionally edible mushrooms to poisonous several years ago, housewives continue to use them for their culinary achievements. Knowing how to soak a component and how much to cook it can minimize and even eliminate the potential risk.
Mushrooms are soaked at least three times, in salt water, the holding time should be at least 5 hours. They are also boiled three times: in the first water for 5 minutes, in the second - 30 minutes, in the third - 40 minutes. It turns out that all heat treatment in time should be at least 1 hour and 15 minutes. In addition, before preparing the barns, it is worth collecting more information about them, which will reduce the hassle in the kitchen to a minimum.
It is important not only to know how much and how to cook the barns until cooked. To make the mushrooms tasty and not harm your health, you must always remember the following things:
Tip: Pigs are thin and fat. Despite the difference in appearance, they practically do not differ in composition and taste. Despite this, it is better to eat thin specimens, because they boil better during heat treatment, while less harmful components accumulate during the growth period.
Unfortunately, even adherence to all of the listed rules cannot guarantee that there is no risk of toxic or food poisoning. To prepare ordinary barns, you need to have an impressive experience and knowledge that is inherent only in experienced mushroom pickers.
Before boiling the collected mushrooms, they should be cleaned of all litter, rinsed several times in cold water and soaked. The barns are soaked three times, for 5 hours. Each time, clean, salted water is used, which is completely drained and replaced with fresh solution. The components prepared in this way are reclined in a colander to drain excess moisture.
The pigs have a dense and pleasant texture, special taste, mild aroma and, at the same time, have a low calorie content, which makes it possible to use the component in diet salads or side dishes. If you learn how to properly boil an ingredient, it will help diversify your usual dishes. The main thing is to remember all the above rules and strictly follow the requirements of the recipes.
Many housewives prefer to close the pigs for the winter. In this case, it is worth considering that, no matter how much the barns are subjected to chemical treatment (salting, pickling), the danger of poisoning with such components still remains. Therefore, you should not use recipes that do not involve pre-boiling the mushrooms.
Often housewives prepare pickled barns for the winter, since this variety generally does not require long-term heat treatments. Therefore, the process of marinating valui in jars for the winter takes a minimum of time, and the taste in terms of the quality of the finished canning is in no way inferior to popular pickles.
This recipe is perfect for pickling Valui mushrooms - this is the second name for barns that have just been harvested in the forest. The process takes about half an hour, but at the same time a rich, fairly concentrated marinade is obtained. This recipe is for 1 kg of value.
This recipe is perfect for gourmets who love spicy food. In this case, the marinade has a more intense and spicy taste, which has a positive effect on the taste of the mushrooms themselves. This recipe is calculated for 1 kilogram of mushrooms.
Barns marinated in boiling broth are very soft, but the caps and legs remain firm and complete. This pickling option is very interesting and unique for cooking.
In this case, cowsheds acquire a sweetish-sourish taste, where there is a slight bitterness.
This method of pickling barn mushrooms is different from the others, but this method of processing significantly reduces the risk of poisoning. Assumes both hermetic marinating and the use of a plastic lid.
Valui are mushrooms that can be pickled in several ways. Moreover, each of them has its own distinctive feature, which affects the taste. Also, the difference is manifested in the method of preparing the brine and placing the mushrooms in the container. This significantly affects the storage conditions and the use of salted food.
I had to urgently look for recipes for mushroom preparations. Collected a lot of pigs, they are also popularly called cowsheds. They won't stand for a long time, so I decided to give preference to mushroom caviar from the barns for the winter.
The fact that pigs are conditionally edible mushrooms never scared me. You need to cook them correctly, and then there will be no harm to health. You cannot dry and cook soup from cowsheds. I learned this as a child. I have in stock recipes for black mushrooms, also conditionally edible mushrooms.
Mushrooms brought from the forest are covered with forest debris: needles, leaves, earth. The primary processing of forest gifts is time-consuming. To make the garbage easier to clean up, we pour our wealth into a large basin, fill the basin with cold water.
You can forget about them for a day. The water should be changed once or twice during this time. After a day, drain all the water, pour a new one and start washing the mushrooms. Treat black milk mushrooms in a similar way. We boil the washed and debris-free pigs in a large volume of water, which can literally be slightly salted.
For a rich taste, put spices in a gauze bag: cloves, allspice peas. Dip the bag into the water. Boil the conditionally edible mushrooms for 1 hour. The resulting raw materials can be used for blanks. Here are the recipes that have taken root in our family.
After processing one bucket of mushrooms, I got about a bowl of raw materials. For this volume, I prepare a marinade from 1 glass of sunflower oil, 1 tablespoon of 70% vinegar. For aroma, I put cloves (things 2) and 5 allspice peas.
Prepared mushrooms must be rinsed in cold water, squeezed, chopped with a blender. To make the taste of mushroom caviar more interesting, we will use onions. Let's take heads that are not small, but rather large ones. 3 pieces will be enough. The onions need to be peeled, cut into cubes, and fried in oil until golden brown.
Combine the mushroom mass, fried onions, marinade in a deep saucepan, mix. Simmer for 15 minutes. The mass can burn, so you should not relax. We'll have to arm ourselves with a wooden spoon and stir the brew for 15 minutes. Pour the mushroom preparation hot into jars. Tighten the banks.

Recipes for one type of mushroom can be used equally well for another type. So for one year I cooked champignons in the same way as in cowsheds, only I did not soak them for a day.
You can cook from not only fresh pigs, but also frozen ones. Due to lack of time, I often freeze pre-boiled mushrooms, and then prepare snacks from them. The snacks are delicious, because I take my time and make a small amount.
We will make this appetizer with garlic. For a kilogram of boiled mushrooms, it will take almost a head, if the teeth are small, I take 6 large slices. The workpiece has a pleasant garlic taste without overdoing it.
Onions and carrots need the same amount - 250 g. I indicate the weight of peeled vegetables. I cut the turnip as for a soup dressing, grated root vegetables. Carcass chopped vegetables in vegetable oil until tender.
Vegetables need to be cooled a little and passed through a meat grinder once. This moment is important. It is thanks to the vegetables passed through the meat grinder that the caviar from the mushrooms acquires the desired consistency.
If you are too lazy to mess around with a meat grinder, you can use a submersible blender, this will not affect the taste in any way.
We put chopped vegetables, chopped mushrooms in a saucepan, add spices. There may be variations at this stage. Everyone has their own taste preferences. I use a tablespoon for this volume of salt, 1/3 of a teaspoon of vinegar, 50 ml of vegetable oil, 2 pieces of lavrushka, I sprinkle ground pepper on my eye, I drop four pieces of sweet peas.
All this yummy needs to be mixed and put to stew. When almost all the liquid has evaporated, add the crushed garlic. At this point, it is a good idea to take a sample - if there is not enough salt or pepper, correct the situation. Caviar, while it is hot, arrange in jars. You can pour calcined vegetable oil on top. Close the jars tightly and remove the mushrooms to storage.
I prefer to use simple recipes when we collect too many milk mushrooms for the winter. The simplicity of preparation does not in any way affect the taste of the winter preparation. Now I'll tell you how to quickly make a universal, fried appetizer from black milk mushrooms.

In winter, we take out jars of fried milk mushrooms every week. Eat them with crushed potatoes or season them with lightly pickled onions and eat them as a salad. Taste is difficult to convey in words. Better try to cook it yourself. The cooking process couldn't be easier.
Boil the mushrooms in the way indicated above. Take out a larger pan, put the washed milk mushrooms in the pan to evaporate the liquid.
The pan must be completely dry. We heat and stir the mushrooms until all the liquid has evaporated.
When you have achieved the desired dryness of the mushroom preparation, pour oil into the pan. We use an odorless vegetable and pour a lot of it, the mushrooms should almost float in it. Salt the mushroom mass to your liking, simmer for 25 minutes, lay out in clean jars. There should be a 2 - 3 mm layer of oil on top, heat it additionally if there is not enough of it in the pan. It is better to store jars of mushrooms on a shelf in the cellar.
Some housewives prefer sterilized mushroom preparations. It is for them that this appetizer is suitable. I did it several times and always the preparation turned out to be successful, despite the unusual combination of mushrooms and tomato juice. In addition, it is prepared with garlic. I take a head for 2 kg of pigs and 400 g of tomato juice.
I usually include carrots in the recipe - with it the taste is more interesting and the consistency is more original. I rub the root vegetables on a grater, let it sit in a pan until completely soft. I grind the boiled cowsheds on a blender, mix them with carrots, send them to a saucepan, and pour tomato juice there.
Carcass all 30 minutes. I fill the mushroom blank with oil and spices to taste. I take the spices that are at hand - salt, pepper. Before the end of cooking, put finely chopped garlic in a saucepan. I spread the mushroom snack in one-liter jars, sterilize each one for 30 minutes, roll it up hermetically and, after cooling down under a fur coat, bring it to the cellar.
