1. Boletus edulis with ham
We start with a quick fall recipe! Mushrooms are one of the most famous autumn delicacies and Boletus, also known as tickets or ceps, one of the best known mushrooms. In this season they can be found in the markets and, of course, in the mountains, but only take them if you have the total security of knowing him and taking care of nature!
With this preparation, the subtle and rich flavor of the tickets is used, combined with the power of a good ham and an egg made at a low temperature. Everything, added to a fundamental ingredient to make the dish a total success: extra virgin olive oil.
Boletus are precious mushrooms and it is convenient to use quality products that add to the recipe. Among them, an EVOO that adds the rich nuances of olive to this dish.
To do this, clean the boletus well with a brush and a moistened cloth. It is important not to soak them so that they do not lose aroma, so, if necessary, use a knife to remove the soil attached to the lower part of the trunk. Then cut them into thin slices.
Put in a pan to heat the oil over medium heat. When it takes temperature, add a laminated garlic clove and the tickets, go out and let them do. When they have taken color, make a hole in the center of the pan and arrange an egg yolk. Here you can put out the fire and use the residual heat so that the yolk is made or, if you like it more done, lower it and cook it to taste.
Finally, plate and place several slices of finely cut ham together with the mushrooms. The final touch will be given by olive oil Beloleum Empeltre, which will add your marked personality to the recipe. If you don’t have a high-quality ham on hand and you like it to have a toasted touch, you can pass it through the pan before the rest of the ingredients, reserve it and add it at the end.
