  • The flavor of this salad depends first and foremost on how well you prepare and cook the aveluk. Pour boiling water over it a few times, letting it stand 15–20 minutes each time, then drain and rinse it in clean, cool water. After that, put the aveluk in a pot, cover with water, and simmer for 20 minutes over moderate heat after it comes to a boil. The aveluk should turn soft. Drain it in a colander, let the liquid run off, and you can even squeeze it out by hand (let it cool a bit first — it's very hot!). Now cut the aveluk into small pieces about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) long. While it's still warm, season it with salt, stirring with a fork and adding the salt a little at a time so it salts evenly. Let the aveluk cool completely while you make the dressing. Peel and finely chop the onion. Finely chop the mushrooms too. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet — and with aveluk, there's no need to be stingy with the oil. Add the onion to the hot oil, fry for 2–3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook everything together until tender and golden. Add this dressing to the aveluk along with the chopped walnuts (save some to sprinkle on top). Mix everything well. Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours so it chills and the flavors meld. Serve it sprinkled with walnuts, with sour cream, and garnished to taste — with fresh herbs, for example. Enjoy!
