Fried boletus mushrooms
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Milk caps are common in many households, usually consumed in pickled form, but they can be used to prepare many other dishes. Today I suggest frying them and serving as a main dish with sour cream and pickled onions. They can also be served as a side dish with potatoes or meat. It's important to properly prepare the mushrooms to remove their bitterness. You can fry both black and white milk caps—the preparation is almost the same, except that white ones need to be soaked one day less. I'll explain how to do this and how to cook milk caps in this recipe. Serve hot.

Step 1
Freshly picked boletus mushrooms from the forest cannot be cooked immediately. First, they need to be prepared. Sort the mushrooms, remove any worm-eaten or spoiled ones, cut off heavily soiled areas, and get rid of debris. Place the mushrooms—mine are black—into a container and cover them completely with cold water, ensuring they are fully submerged and have enough space. Change the water 2-3 times a day, gently rinsing off the dirt. The mushrooms will change color, becoming darker or turning maroon.

Step 2
After preparing the black trumpets, get all the necessary ingredients ready for frying. Thoroughly wash the mushrooms, wiping the tops of the caps and cutting off the stems, as we won't need them.

To completely remove the bitterness, place the caps in a saucepan, cover with water, add a little salt, and boil over medium heat for 10 minutes. Drain the boletes in a colander and let the liquid drain off completely.
