Today I prepare pine three mushrooms stewed with potatoes, these are fresh mushrooms but you can do the same with frozen mushrooms of any type (porcini, ovoli, etc.).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some herbs will be used: garlic, parsley and laurel (or bay-leaf).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peel the garlic, wash the parsley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chop them small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get the potatoes, usually their weight is half the weight of mushrooms. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peel the potatoes, then cut them in pieces notbigger than half inch in width.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With this size is easier to cook the potatoes along with the mushrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put two spoons of extra virgin olive oil and two spoons of butter in to the pot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the butter melts drop four or five leaves of laurel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the garlic and parsley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the potatoes: make them to roast slowly.

 

 

 

 

Keep stirring and cook at least  five-six minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut in pieces the mushrooms and drop them to the soffritto.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cook three or four minutes (kindly stirring) then add two-three pinches of marine salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spread well the salt everywhere and stir.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be careful to not break the mushrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add one full glass of white wine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover with a lid and cook four-five minutes with low fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open the lid and stir well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover again andcook another four-five minutes  covered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open the lid and raise the fire hight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir well until the consistence of the liquid inside is good, check the salinity: note that if there is not enaugh salt or too much water the mushrooms will get a bitter taste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve on the side, as appetizer or as main vegetarian course.
