Finnish Mushroom Salad
INGREDIENTS
3-4 dl of Salted mushrooms
1 Onion
Dressing:
2 dl Cream
1-2 tsp Lemon juice or vinegar
1/2 tsp Sugar
Dash of freshly ground white pepper
For: 2 servings
PREPARATION
Soak the salted mushrooms until the salt level is right. Press
the excess water out and chop the mushrooms. Peel and chop the
onion. Check the taste, it should have a slightly sharp tang.
Stir the mushrooms and the chopped onions into the dressing.
The traditional Finnish mushroom salad is made of salted milk
caps. Before salting, the cleaned mushrooms are boiled in plenty
of water for five minutes, rinsed and cooled. Then the mushrooms
are placed with layers of salt (salt content is 10-15% of the
weight of the mushrooms) in glass jars. The mushrooms are pressed
down into the jar by covering them with a weight, e.g. a plate
with a clean stone on it, and stored in a cold place.
