...it sure tastes like it! I had a solo paddle on Coniston yesterday, what a beautiful place this time of year and peaceful too. Just what I needed. With the shore lines deserted, it left me free to drift around slowly exploring. Low and behold it's fungal delights were on show, and I managed a couple of portions of mushrooms, mainly common hedgehog, but also a few late chanterelles and a mini penny bun.
These 3 go really well together, and I've nick named them the Holy trinity. They make a great omelette, a couple of tips that I can share with you that really help are to try not to wash the mushrooms if possible, and leave them out over night to dry slightly, anything that reduces the moisture content a little will reduce the slimyness when cooking, also dry frying in the pan first will stave off moisture and when you add any liquid to the pan (I.e. butter!) They will readily soak it up.
This dish contains the holy trinity, served with a side of mushroom ketchup (also made from the trinity!) That has been blended with some jack by the hedge mustard for a little heat.
