chocccie Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 bought some today to go in a quiche ... but I can't get the dirt off. I've tried teasing it off with kichen paper. I would never normally wash mushies, but is this the only way to get the dirt off.I could try a pastry brush.... but they aren't in the best of nick (ie, coated in oil).Help!

Clair Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 A (clean) pastry brush is best as it's soft and does not damage the mushrooms.I keep one in the kitchen for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoneye Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 What is Girolle ?? Clearly a mushroom from what people have said, but I have never heard of it - is it a special kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoneye Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks - will look out for them, as I know many secret mushroom patches - and as far as I recall from last year, its almost that time of the year again when strange (no offence intended anyone) French people jump out of bushes and look nonchalant as you go past, trying to decoy you away from their favourite mushrooming places ...

le rouge Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I always clean them with the back of a knife, gently over the surface. As I live in the Sologne (central France 18) there are many good places for Girolles, especially after a good night of rainfall. Pickers are very secretive about their location(s). The prices, even in the market, are pretty high but what a treat when you cook them with some garlic and butter and myabe a bit of thyme. Superb!
