Yes! I love to pick, to clean, to cook and to eat them : mushrooms WHAT A PASSION!!!
Today the wood has been generous and I came back with a basket full of mushrooms, so I did prepare them like this.
Clean the mushrooms and cut into small pieces. Boil half liter of white wine and half liter of white vinegar with a bunch of marine salt and 4 leaves of baley. When it boils put the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain and when still warm dress with garlic cut into small pieces, wild mint, chives, chili, salt and extra virgin olive oil. Keep the mushrooms in salad for three days putting new dressing every day. Now is time to put the mushrooms in jars with extra virgin olive oil, but unfortunately after three days only few are left…..

… .. I’m glad the autumn comes: a season rich in the country and in the woods!
And today, when I saw porcini mushrooms, artichokes and chestnuts at the market I could not resist!!
Long life to THE SOUP!
Ingredients for 4 people:
3 artichokes
350 gr. Porcini mushrooms
20 chestnuts
1 potato
1 shallot
1 clove of garlic
1 glass of white wine
Extra virgin olive oil
black pepper
1 lt. Vegetable stock
parsley
While chestnuts are boiling in salted water, chop scallion and garlic very thin and let them fry in a pan, with olive oil, until brown. Take out outer leaves from artichokes (hard like a stone!!),And also remove any hair that may be in the middle, cut the upper part into thin strips and the stems into cubes, put them in water acidulated with the juice of a lemon. Add the artichokes to the shallot cook for 10 minutes (brilliant fire!), adding a white wine. Now chestnuts are boiled (about 30 minutes), we burnt our hands to peel them ,and add it to the artichokes, along with one diced potato. Add the broth and a pinch of salt and let cook for 30 minutes over low heat. Clean the mushrooms (without water but only with a toothbrush !), And cut into strips. Add them to the soup and let cook for 10 minutes (otherwise they will mash! ). This soup should be served warm with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper and a few leaves of parsley. BUON APPETITO!
