Finnish Mushroom Salad
|
| Soak the salted mushrooms until the salt level is right. Squeeze out the excess water 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. The mushrooms are then placed in glass jars with layers of salt (salt content is 10-15% of the weight of the mushrooms). 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. |
