Mushroom caviar from dried porcini mushrooms

4 servings

10 minutes

Mushroom caviar made from dried porcini mushrooms is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that reveals the rich aroma of forest gifts. Porcini mushrooms, known for their rich flavor and pleasant texture, gain even greater depth of taste after drying. They are boiled and passed through a meat grinder with garlic, eggs, and butter to create a delicate, creamy consistency. Mayonnaise adds a light spiciness while salt enhances the natural flavor spectrum. After cooling in the refrigerator, the caviar becomes dense and is perfect for serving with bread, on toast or as an independent snack. This dish not only has an exquisite taste but also a special warmth that makes it popular at traditional Russian feasts.
