Fried volushki: recipes and cooking methods

Mushrooms are a traditional Russian food; in the old days, salted and pickled mushroom snacks were in particular demand. Currently, interest in mushrooms is only growing, and numerous fried and stewed dishes made from them are becoming very popular. Even those mushrooms that were mostly used for pickling and pickling are tried to be used in a different form and often it turns out quite well. For example, just recently, few people thought of frying fried eggs. After all, this was the most famous variety of mushrooms after milk mushrooms, used exclusively for pickling. But times are changing; at the moment, many housewives are successfully experimenting with fried eggs, creating various culinary masterpieces from them by frying.

Is it possible to fry mushrooms?

At first glance, volnushki, also called volzhanka, volnyanka and volnukha, slightly resemble saffron milk caps - lamellar mushrooms with a cap whose edges are curled down. But the color of saffron milk caps is completely different; there are no patterns or fringe on the cap. And they belong to the Russula family, so it seems that they can be consumed in almost any form. In addition, in terms of nutritional value, they are usually classified even in the second category. But this is the next step after white mushrooms, milk mushrooms and saffron milk caps.

But with all this, Volzhanka are classified as conditionally edible mushrooms, which means that when fresh they contain bitter substances that are harmful to human health, may have an unpleasant odor and require mandatory pre-treatment.

However, if you carry out the mandatory procedures that must precede cooking, you can fry the fried eggs. And the result is a very delicious and healthy dish.

How to cook fried volushki

Cooking fried Volzhanka will require the housewife to comply with some mandatory manipulations, without which the mushrooms may turn out to be at least inedible. But if you follow all the described recommendations, you can choose from the many proposed recipes for making fried trumpets that suit your taste.

How to prepare fried mushrooms for frying

In order to remove the inherent bitterness from Volzhanka and help enjoy their nutritional and taste qualities, it is customary to soak or boil mushrooms.

Of course, first of all, as in the case of any other mushrooms brought from the forest, the mushrooms should be sorted out, removing spoiled, wormy and broken ones.Then they are washed in cold water, clearing them of twigs, debris, leaves and other forest debris.

Next, there are two main ways to remove bitterness from them:

1. Mushrooms are soaked in cold water for 24 to 48 days. In this case, it is advisable to drain the old water from the waves and replace it with new water every 12 hours.
2. Boil in salted water (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water) for about an hour so that the mushrooms are completely covered with liquid during cooking.

Many housewives who successfully prepare dishes from fried mushrooms according to various recipes prefer to use both methods at once. Moreover, it was noticed that soaking for too long can adversely affect the taste of Volzhanka. Therefore, if you want them to fully retain both their nutritional and taste properties, you must first soak the Volzhanki for 24 hours (changing the water once), and then boil them in salted water for 1 hour. After such treatment, all the negative properties of the waves disappear.

As noted earlier, volushushki are conditionally edible mushrooms that contain bitter milky juice. Not only can it seriously spoil the taste of mushrooms, but it can also cause severe nutritional disorders such as diarrhea, heaviness and abdominal pain if they are not pre-heated.

If Volzhanka is prepared for pickling, then it is enough to soak the mushrooms in water. But, in order to fry the volushki, they must be boiled and the water drained after that.
