To prepare field mushrooms, trim the stalk
bottoms if necessary and wipe the caps with a damp cloth. Slice
according to the recipe. For true field mushrooms, you need do nothing
more complicated than simply fry them in butter or live oil with a
suggestion of garlic if liked. However, like flat mushrooms, field
mushrooms can be used for stuffing, in soups or indeed any mushroom
recipe.
They are darker than button mushrooms and
will color soups and sauces brown, but the flavor will be extremely
good. When stuffing mushrooms, gently fry the caps on both sides for a
few minutes. The stalks can be chopped and added to the stuffing or can
be used for soups or stocks.
