It is much easier to recruit many Mokhovikas (they are also called “Polish mushrooms”) than whites. Nevertheless, these mushrooms are also very healthy and tasty. If the collected mokhovikov turned out so much that there is an opportunity to prepare them for future use, then they can be salted. How to pickle boletus for the winter, including in banks, not everyone knows, as there are secrets here. However, this task is simple, so even an inexperienced hostess will cope with it.
Cooking Secrets
Salt bovines for the winter can be in different ways, but no matter which one is chosen, you should know a few secrets of salting bovine.
Mokhovikov can be found in different places, including in the landings by the roads, but it is not worth collecting them near highways. After all, mushrooms quickly accumulate inside toxic substances and become harmful.
- Young mushrooms are more suitable for salting, but you can also take medium size. The main thing is that they are not wormy or overgrown. For this reason, before salting the mokhoviki should be sorted, while at the same time cleaning it from forest litter.
- For salting, they usually take only the Mokhovik caps, but throwing the legs is not worth it - you can fry them, use them to make soup or mushroom caviar.
- Mosshawks darken very quickly, especially when touched or exposed to high temperatures. They will surely turn black, if they are boiled - you need to be ready for this. However, there is a way to return the former beauty of the Mokhovik, for this you need to give them the opportunity to sour slightly. For this salt, you should add 20-30 percent less than indicated in the recipe, and after clarification of the mushrooms, the jars with them should be sterilized and rolled up.
- When salting mokhovikov do not recommend the use of garlic, as it will almost certainly turn blue, because of what mushrooms will look at best unappetizing, and someone may find them even inedible.
- You can pickle boletus in an oak barrel, in an enamelled bucket, in a stainless steel saucepan, or in glass jars. You can not use for them only galvanized dishes.
Regardless of the method of preparation, you can only store salted flywheels in a cool place: in the refrigerator or cellar.
