Black breast. Recipes
Since almost all dishes contain salty black lumps, we will begin cooking with salting. So, we need the following ingredients:
- black breasts;

For each kilogram of boiled breasts we take 40 g of salt. The soaked breasts are washed under running water and boiled for 10 minutes. In the bowl where the mushrooms will be salted, put all the leaves we prepared, dill, half the horseradish root, 3 chopped garlic cloves. Then we spread the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt on top, add pepper, the remaining horseradish root and garlic cloves. We cover it all with oak leaves and put it under oppression. The first 5 days we keep the mushrooms at room temperature, then remove in a cool dark place for 40 days. Thus, we get a delicious delicacy - a salty black breast.

When collecting black breasts, it is very important not to confuse them with ordinary milkers, which are poisonous. It is possible to distinguish a milkman with a strong spicy smell. Despite the fact that the smell of the poisonous mushroom is pleasant, you can not use it in food. Although many mushroom pickers use milky milkers in dried and ground form as spices.
