Fried waves: recipes and cooking methods

Mushrooms are a traditional food; in the old days, salted and pickled mushroom snacks were in special demand. At present, interest in mushrooms is only increasing, and numerous fried and stewed dishes from them are gaining popularity. Even those mushrooms that were mostly used for salting and pickling are trying to be used in a different form and often it turns out very well. For example, quite recently, few people thought of frying volnushki. After all, it was the most famous variety of mushrooms after milk mushrooms, used exclusively for salting. But times are changing, at the moment, many housewives are successfully experimenting with fritters, creating various culinary masterpieces from them using frying.

Is it possible to fry volnushki mushrooms

At first glance, volnushki, also called volzhanka, volnyanka and volnukhi, slightly resemble saffron mushrooms – agaric mushrooms with a hat whose edges are twisted down. That’s just the color of the mushrooms is completely different, there are no patterns and fringe on the hat. Yes, and volnushki belong to the Russula family, so it seems that they can be used in almost any form. In addition, according to their nutritional value, it is customary to refer them even to the second category. But this is the next step after the whites, milk mushrooms and mushrooms.

But with all this, volzhanki are classified as conditionally edible mushrooms, which means that when fresh they contain bitter substances that are harmful to human health, they can have an unpleasant odor and require mandatory pre-treatment.

However, when carrying out mandatory procedures that must precede cooking, it is possible to fry the waves. And the result is a very delicious and healthy dish.

How to cook fried fritters

Cooking fried volzhanka will require the hostess to comply with some mandatory manipulations, without which the mushrooms may turn out to be at least inedible. But if you follow all the recommendations described, then you can choose the most suitable one according to your taste from the many proposed recipes for making fried waves.

In order to remove the bitterness inherent in them and help them enjoy their nutritional and taste qualities, mushrooms are usually soaked or boiled.

Of course, first of all, as in the case of any other mushrooms brought from the forest, the waves should be sorted out, removing spoiled, wormy and broken ones. Then they are washed in cold water, cleaned of twigs, specks, leaves and other forest debris.

Then there are two main ways to remove bitterness from them:

1. Mushrooms are soaked in cold water for 24 to 48 days. At the same time, it is advisable to drain the old water from the waves and replace it with a new one every 12 hours.
2. Boil in salt water (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water) for about an hour so that the mushrooms are completely covered with liquid during cooking.

Many housewives who successfully cook dishes from fried mushrooms according to various recipes prefer to use both methods at once. Moreover, it was noticed that too long soaking can adversely affect the taste of Volzhanka. Therefore, if you want them to fully retain both their nutritional and taste properties, you must first soak the volzhanki for 24 hours (changing the water once), and then boil them in salted water for 1 hour. After such processing, all the negative properties of the waves disappear.

If volzhanki are prepared for salting, then it is enough to soak the mushrooms in water. But, in order to fry volnushki, they must be boiled, and then drained of water.
