In order to prepare champignons, you do not have to go to the forest for mushrooms, it's enough to reach the nearest supermarket or market.

Before preparing any dish from mushrooms, they need to be cleaned properly. Many mistresses simply throw them into the water and thoroughly wash, but this is not right. With this washing, mushrooms absorb water and become completely insipid. Champignons must be wiped with a dry or slightly damp towel or napkin. With mushrooms, all contamination must be removed. Now they can be cooked.

The most common dish is champignons in sour cream. Why in sour cream? Because sour cream is better than any other product emphasizes the taste of mushrooms. Preparing this dish is very simple - clean chopped mushrooms fry in a pan until cooked, then add onion, spices and sour cream. All this is stewed under the lid for about 10 minutes. Agree, it's easy. Therefore mushrooms fried in sour cream are so popular among modern housewives.

Also mushrooms can diversify already familiar dishes, for example, adding them to the morning omelet. First in the frying pan it is necessary to fry the mushrooms, and then add the eggs. Also simple, fast and tasty, but most importantly - the omelet turns out to be quite unusual to taste.

But mushrooms in sour cream - not the only option of cooking mushrooms. Here is an interesting recipe for gourmets.

Mushrooms need to be cleaned, folded into a small plate with deep sides. Pour a mixture of vinegar, water and citric acid. The mixture is prepared in such proportions: for 1 glass of water 2 tablespoons of vinegar and a half teaspoon of citric acid. Leave to stand for about 2 hours. Then we put the soaked mushrooms in the cauldron (the enameled dishes will not work). We put on a small fire. During heating, the mushrooms are given juice, so do not add water. When mushrooms are boiling, add spices and a little onion. Allow to extinguish for about 5 minutes. Then dilute the flour with water in the proportion of 1 tablespoon of flour to a half glass of water. Stir well and pour into the mushrooms. It is necessary to carefully mix the resulting mass so that lumps do not form. Stew for another 10 minutes and the dish is ready for use. It can be served any garnish (buckwheat, potatoes, rice) or even just vegetables.

After that, you can stuff a cap with a mass of grated cheese with tomatoes. The taste of mushrooms cooked in sour cream is perfectly combined with cheese and tomatoes. This dish is suitable not only for children, but also as a snack on the table for adults.
