Oven Omelette with Wild Mushroom Stew

There are more than 10.000 species of mushrooms. Only a few are poisonous. I am a collector of wild mushrooms but I am only acquainted with the characteristics of very few species, and avoid all others.

When I discovered this cute little mushroom near one of the spruces in my garden, I knew where to go to find more and better ones.















It is a "newly born" False Saffron Milk-cap (Lactarius deterrimus). The Swedish name is "Granblodriska". That's the only name I need to know. It is not only edible, it is delicious with its peppery taste.

If you are looking for something that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner, try this recipe. Remember to taste the stew as you make it and season it the way you like.

I'll be away for about two-three weeks. So I am going to use the ability for Blogger users to post-date posts. I have written some posts and scheduled them for publishing at a future date and time. This facility is really amazing!
