BEFORE COOKING:

Peel the caps of fresh jersey cow mushrooms, wash them, and dry them.

COOKING:

Place the jersey cow mushrooms into cold water, ensuring there is enough water to completely cover them. Cook the jersey cow mushrooms for 10–15 minutes. Start timing once the water reaches a boil. If there is any doubt about the mushroom species, change the water during cooking (1–2 times) or refrain from consuming them! If you are certain of their identity, changing the water during cooking is not necessary. Skim off the foam during cooking. Near the end of cooking, salt the water. Season to taste with pepper, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, marjoram, and bay leaf. Cook with the lid on. The cooked mushrooms will be soft and delicate.

AFTER COOKING:

Drain and dry the jersey cow mushrooms after cooking.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Jersey cow mushrooms can be enjoyed as a delicacy or as an addition to other dishes (cereals, rice, or vegetables). They can also serve as an excellent main ingredient in mushroom soup, marinade, or sauce.
