The pungent milk caps are not something people eat much in Denmark. Here I have used one of them, primarily because of the mushroom's other name; manddråbe.
Wild ingredients
Instructions
- Clean the milk caps, cut and layer them in a sterile jar with salt between all the layers. You can place a piece of cut parchment paper on top with a weight.
- After a few days, the salt has drawn the liquid out of the mushrooms, which now sit in a very strong salt brine.
- You can now take the mushrooms out and place them in a slightly less salty brine and then store until you need them.
- They are best used in stewed dishes, for example, where the strong saltiness can be tempered by long cooking in liquid.
