Happy Fungi-Friday community, and greetings to all around the world fungi lovers. this post is my contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw.
Today I tried an experiment, making mushroom sauce from the yellowlegs that we collected in November and had in the freezer.
200 grams yellow legs, frozen
40 grams sugar 3 tbsp
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
First, defrost one bag weight 200 grams, yellow legs
Added 200 ml water in it and cooked them for around 3-4 minutes.
Switched off the heat and separated water from mushrooms using a strainer.
It was exactly 1 cup of the dark-colored mushroom water. which I used for the sauce.(I saved mushrooms for another recipe )
In a heavy bottom pan, I spread sugar to caramelize it.
Without stirring just allowed it to caramelize occasionally shaking the pan.
It goes very fast so i kept a close eye on it to avoid burning the sugar.
As soon as the sugar color became dark I poured the mushroom water very carefully into it. (watch out, sometimes the water can splash and burn the hand)
At this step, I used a spoon to stir the sauce very lightly. then cooked it for around 2 minutes on medium heat.
Added salt.
Then vinegar.
Stirring occasionally on medium heat until the sauce thickens.
When the consistency became like soy sauce (took 4 minutes) turned off the heat and let it cool down.
I got 125 ml sauce with a really good taste.
Filled a glass bottle
