A tasty appetizer 

Ingredients

• Porcini mushrooms (to clean): 400 g
• Garlic: 1 clove
• Extra virgin olive oil: to taste
• Nepitella (calamint) or parsley: to taste
• Fine salt: to taste
• Black pepper: to taste

Direction

1. Start by cleaning the mushrooms: gently scrape the stem with a small, smooth-bladed knife to remove the dirt, then brush off the residue with a brush or a cotton cloth.
2. Once cleaned, cut the whole mushrooms into chunks, separating the stems from the caps.
3. Toast 4 slices of rustic bread.
4. Mince the garlic and sauté it in a little olive oil, being careful not to burn it.
5. Next, add the mushroom stems and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the rest of the mushrooms and season with salt.
6. Stir occasionally; the mushrooms should be cooked in less than 10 minutes. Adjust with more salt and pepper, and add the chopped nepitella or parsley.
7. Place the porcini on the toasted bread and serve either on their own or with a side of ham.
8. Enjoy!
