Wild mushroom season


Wild mushroom season


Invited a friend for dinner and he brought a big bag of 2 types of wild mushroom just picked from his wood, Cepe (Boletus Edulis and Oronge (Amanita Caesera). 

Cepe
 
Cepe is my favorite, and this is the first time I tried Oronge, which is his favorite. 

Oronge

Oronge has a lovely colour, taste of egg white and a good mildly crunchy texture.
My favorite is still Cepe, has much better aroma.

I prepare them in 2 ways, cut a cm thick, sear both sides on hot plancha with olive oil quickly, sprinkle salt and serve.

The others also cut a cm thick, but slow cook at low temperature in olive oil until golden, sprinkle salt, keep in the oil in a jar to prolong the usage for a couple more weeks.
