Sleet, 0 degrees C. Changing to rain at noon. Skipping all plans to go outside. According to Junnu the seal hasn't been sighted today. Weather quite unpleasant.
Decided to make Albatrellus ovinus/minced meat steaks and baked potatoes. Years 2010 and 2011 were great mushroom years and I still have some left, so better to use them before next autumn comes. Boletus edulis is excellent, but a bit overused, so I decided to eat some ovinus. It is a ground-growing polypore fungus, which can be very numerous in one year, then unexplainably missing the next year. With a pleasant texture, excellent taste and sometimes excellent harvest, it has been a popular mushroom, but nowhere near Boletus edulis, Craterellus tubaeformis or Cantharellus gibareus. Fungus trips can be rewarding. Free food in the forest.
You need:
- minced meat
- bread crumbs
- cream
- sour cream
- egg
- as much dried and minced Albatrellus ovinus as you feel and can afford (at least 2dl)
- some grated parmesan, a little mustard
- salt, pepper, white pepper, thyme
- baked potatoes
Works like a charm. Steaks have a pleaseant, smooth and peculiar taste, resembling liver.
Difficulty: very easy.
Biology factor: low.
