Come Cucinare i Funghi - Ricetta Base (Dal Ricettario di Raffaela Millonig)

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar flavor profile.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: fresh basil

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Basil offers a different flavor and dried parsley is more economical.

Sauté the chopped shallots in equal parts of olive oil and butter until translucent.

Add the assorted edible mushrooms and cook until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

For a sauce, add a few tablespoons of fresh cream or tomato sauce to the cooked mushrooms and let it simmer for a few minutes before serving with pasta or risotto.

For a frittata, mix the cooked mushrooms with beaten eggs and chopped parsley, then cook until set.

For an Asian version, replace olive oil and butter with sunflower oil, add frozen peas sautéed separately, bean sprouts, and sliced celery stalks, seasoning with soy sauce instead of salt and pepper, and stir-fry everything together for a few minutes.
