 Wild Hedgehog Mushrooms and Nettle

Ingredients

  • 100g wild hedgehog mushrooms
  • 1 bunch of fresh nettles (about 50g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice

Directions

    Prepare the Nettles:

    1. Wearing gloves, carefully wash the nettles under cold water to remove any dirt.

    2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the nettles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.

    3. Drain the nettles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop them.

    Prepare the Hedgehog Mushrooms:

    1. Gently clean the wild hedgehog mushrooms with a soft brush or paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if necessary.

    2. Slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

    Cooking:

    1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    2. Add the sliced hedgehog mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

    3. Add the blanched nettles to the skillet with the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the nettles are heated through.

    4. If desired, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

    Serve:

    1. Transfer the cooked mushrooms and nettles to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or over toasted bread for a light meal.
