How to freeze row mushrooms for the winter

They can be salted, pickled, or frozen to fry fresh mushrooms in winter. My recipe today will tell you how to freeze rows for the winter.

The rows grow in deciduous forests, and there is no particular waste in them. Only leaves that stick to the caps. All cleaning of mushrooms consists of removing these leaves and checking the mushrooms for worms.

Pay attention to the purple rows. They are also very tasty, but many people are very scared when they are put on the table. But they are afraid in vain, since purple rows are also edible.

How to freeze rows for the winter

There are two ways to freeze mushrooms for the winter.

The first one is very simple: wash the mushrooms, dry and freeze. But they take up too much space in the freezer. Therefore, I prefer the second one: boil it before freezing.

Rinse the rows in a basin of water and throw them into boiling salted water.

From the moment they boil, they should cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir the mushrooms from time to time with a slotted spoon and skim off the dirty foam that appears even in well-washed mushrooms.

Throw the boiled rows into a colander, let them drain and, at the same time, cool.

It is better to use plastic containers for freezing mushrooms.If you just put them in a bag, they will spread and freeze into a shapeless mass, and this is not very convenient.

These “bricks” are very convenient. Frozen mushrooms are easy to cut, and there is no need to defrost the entire briquette. It is not necessary to defrost the mushrooms before you start cooking.

Simply add frozen mushrooms to the pan or toss directly into the soup. The taste of the dish will not be affected, and you will save a lot of time.
