Stewed Russell’s Bolete on Toast

Stewed Russell's Bolete on Toast

This stewed Russell’s bolete on toast with chilies, garlic, and parsley is an excellent way to enjoy this rarely eaten, frilly-stemmed mushroom!

stewed Russell's bolete on toast

These boletes get quite soft when cooked, and don’t make for a great sauté, so why not take them further into a delicious stew?

Serve this piquant mushroom stew on top of toast, rice, mashed potatoes, beans, or polenta. 

Remember, always be 100% sure of what you’re harvesting. Always thoroughly cook wild mushrooms. If it’s your first time trying a particular mushroom, eat only that type and don’t eat much of it. Many non-toxic mushrooms don’t react well with certain people and can cause stomach upset.
