I love muchroom season!
Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved mushrooms, and the latvian forests where I grew up were full of them!
My favorite is the parasol mushroom. We also used to have a competition: whoever had the fullest basket got the most mushroom sauce on their boiled potatoes.
And whoever found the biggest parasol mushroom got the biggest piece. It was prepared most deliciously by my aunt; she made it into a kind of schnitzel, and honestly, it’s divine!
When I was 7, we moved to the Netherlands and I haven’t eaten it since, so that means no parasol mushroom for me for 30 years and now we finally arrived at our Swedish holiday home and it was just meant to be, my patience was rewarded by a parasol mushroom right in our garden. And this one tasted so so good, just like in my memories!
