Pickled mushrooms
They can compete with expensive blanks from the store. For 1 kg of mushrooms, the following proportions of other components are needed:
- half a lemon;
- 5-6 garlic cloves;
- 3 glasses of clean water;
- 50 ml of vegetable oil;
- 1 tablespoon of table salt;
- 2 teaspoons of sugar;
- 75 ml vinegar;
- spices - 3 pcs. bay leaves, 7 pcs. black peppercorns, 3 pcs. carnations.
We inspect the mushrooms, wash them, cut them into pieces of the desired size, preferably small ones. According to the recipe, we need a marinade. How to prepare a marinade so that oyster mushrooms remain elastic after pouring? We carry out simple actions.
Pour water into a saucepan and add the rest of the ingredients - vinegar, garlic (chopped), lemon juice. Stir, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Then we filter, leaving only the liquid. Pour into a saucepan again, add oyster mushrooms and continue to cook for at least 30 minutes. Cool, put in sterile jars, pour sunflower oil on top (1 tbsp. Spoon) and close with lids. For reliability, some housewives sterilize the workpiece.
Salted oyster mushrooms for the winter
This option can be started even without thoroughly rinsing the oyster mushrooms. We will boil the mushrooms and drain the first water. She will take away excess debris and dirt. But it will not be superfluous to slightly wash off the dust.
Cut into large pieces. It is better to leave small mushrooms intact so that they do not break in the workpiece.
Pour water into a saucepan, bring to a boil, place oyster mushrooms.
Blanch the mushrooms for 15 minutes. A sign of readiness will be the settling of oyster mushrooms to the bottom of the pan. Then we take them out with a slotted spoon in a colander, and pour out the water. We don't need it anymore.
Now we put water on the fire again, but this time with salt. We make the brine salted, taste it. Cook oyster mushrooms for 30 minutes after boiling. No longer worth it. The more we cook the mushrooms, the tougher they will be in the workpiece.
At this time, we are preparing the banks. We wash, dry and lay on the bottom of the spices to taste:
- allspice peas;
- mustard seeds;
- bay leaf;
- 1-2 carnation buds.
Cover the jars with lids, put them in the oven and turn on the temperature.
As soon as the jars are heated, keep the oven on for 2 minutes and turn it off. No longer worth it, otherwise the spices will burn. We take out the jars and leave them on a baking sheet to cool.
We carefully lay out the boiled mushrooms in jars, fill with salted brine, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence and acetylsalicylic acid powder (on the tip of a knife) on top.
And without aspirin, such a blank will not stand. Now it remains to close the banks, let them cool down and send them to the basement.
These mushrooms can be eaten straight away or used to cook marinade dishes. Enjoy your meal!
