A small brown mushroom, 2.5 cm in diameter, with a very thin stalk. Tender, whitish flesh with a taste of almonds.
Very good in sauces or soup.
How to prepare the mousserons
Even though mousserons picked in the wild are checked when picked and packaged, they still need to be cleaned according to the following instructions:
- Cut 2 to 3 mm off the stalk
- Delicately brush the mushrooms, cap and gills using a small brush to get rid of any thorns or twigs that might be present.
- Cut very large mushrooms vertically
- Only wash if needed (in case of soil) by quickly rinsing them under the tap or delicately wiping them.
Cooking: always sauté them on a high heat and preferably eat them while they are still crunchy.
Sliced and “ready-to-use” mushrooms just need to be cooked.
How to store the mousserons
Mousserons may have different characteristics depending on when they are picked or where they come from. That’s why we always endeavour to select the most resistant varieties that grow in optimum climatic conditions: for instance, not too much rain to avoid excess water.
Within this context, the best way to keep them is to remove the plastic film and replace it with a damp cloth and store the mushrooms for 2 to 3 days in the bottom of the fridge at +/-6°C.
