🥣 Ingredients

🍽 For 4 servings:

500 g (1,1 lb) champignons
1/2 onion
2 cloves of garlic
125 ml (8,5 tbsp) of dry sherry
salt and pepper
2 tbsp. neutral vegetable oil

To serve:

1 egg
parsley

Ingredients for cooking mushrooms with sherry: mushrooms, onions, garlic, dried sherry, vegetable oil

🔪Step by step Directions

Put a saucepan with water on the stove, put 1 egg in it bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.

Rinse 500 g (1,1 lb) of mushrooms under running water and cut into thin slices about 2-3mm wide. Place them in a deep bowl.

Take half of a large onion, cut off the tail from the top of the onion, peel the husk and cut into small cubes.

To do this, make several cuts in half of the onion from the tail to the spine, do not cut all the way through, the spine will hold the cut onion together so that it does not disintegrate into separate pieces. Now cut the onion deep down, keeping the knife parallel to the board, also not cutting all the way through. Now slice into small cubes.

Place the flat side of a knife on a garlic clove and strike it with your fist or palm to flatten the garlic. Then peel the husks and finely chop 2 garlic cloves.

Place a deep frying pan on the stove and heat it up. Pour in 2 tbsp of neutral vegetable oil and heat it until it is about to start smoking. Add the sliced mushrooms and fry them until brown, add chopped onion and garlic to the mushrooms and continue to fry, stirring constantly.

When the liquid evaporates, add 125 ml (8,5 tbsp) of dry sherry and mix well. Then salt and pepper to taste and stir again. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.

At this time. Take 1 bunch of parsley, rinse. Cut off the bottom of the stems and set them aside. Chop the top part of the bunch with a knife.

Peel the boiled egg from its shell and finely chop it with a knife or crumble it by hand. Put the chopped parsley and egg in a bowl, salt and mix a little.
