Lines stewed in cream

The lines must be properly prepared, as it is believed that they contain dangerous toxins in their raw form. If you still doubt that you will do everything right, it is better to give up this dish.

So, we start by thoroughly washing the lines, then cut them in half or into quarters and soak them in salt water for half an hour. Time has passed - we drain the water, and transfer the mushrooms to a suitable-sized saucepan. Fill the lines with clean water, put on high heat, bring to a boil. We throw the mushrooms into a colander and rinse them thoroughly with running water, lightly squeezing.

Return the lines to the pan, pour clean water again, bring to a boil and cook for at least 15 minutes over medium heat. We throw it back into a colander and rinse, after which we put it to cook for 45 minutes on moderate heat. In the third we throw away the mushrooms, wait for them to cool down a little and the excess liquid will drain, squeeze them out.

While the lines are cooling, peel and chop the onion, fry it until golden brown in vegetable oil. Cut the mushrooms a little smaller, add to the onion, mix. At this stage, sprinkle the mushrooms with ground black pepper (ideally freshly ground), put a pinch of nutmeg, butter, cream and milk (or water).

Stir, simmer all together for about 10 minutes. If necessary, add salt.

Mushrooms are ready. We serve them with your favorite side dish.

Bon appetit!
