Button mushrooms ⚖
520005
The button mushroom is the ultimate precision ingredient, offering impeccable appearance and a delicate crunch for your most refined presentations.
Product description:
The button mushroom, selected by Le Delas, is the smallest variety in the cultivated agaric family. Harvested early, it is distinguished by its cap that fits perfectly over the stem, its pure white colour and its very firm flesh. This miniature size is particularly prized in haute cuisine for its uniform appearance and dense texture, which shrinks very little when heated. Available to order by the kilo from our Fruit & Vegetable Workshop, it allows you to enhance your dishes without the need for cutting, saving you precious time during preparation.
Culinary uses, preparation and storage:
Its small size and firmness make it a highly versatile product:
► Whole Garnishes: Ideal for accompanying sweetbreads, traditional blanquettes or poultry fricassees, where it is served whole to preserve its ‘button' appearance.
► Raw preparations: Its crunchy texture is perfect for adding to seasonal salads, skewered appetisers, or for Greek-style marinating with coriander and lemon.
► Quick stir-fries: Tossed whole in a frying pan with brown butter and fresh herbs, these buds brown evenly and offer a tasty bite.
► Preparation: Naturally very clean, a quick brush or a brief rinse under cold water is sufficient. To preserve their brilliant whiteness when blanching, add a dash of lemon juice to the cooking water or cooking butter.
► Storage: A fresh product to be kept in the fridge at between +2°C and +4°C. To prevent them from browning or opening up, store them in a breathable container (paper bag or perforated tray) away from excessive moisture.
