Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh mushrooms (such as chanterelles or button mushrooms)
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 100 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off dirt or rinsing briefly under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the red onion.
In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes, or until they soften and release their moisture. Allow them to cool slightly.
Finely chop the fresh dill, reserving a small amount for garnish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth dressing.
Add the sautéed mushrooms, chopped red onion, and most of the dill to the bowl with the dressing. Mix everything together until the mushrooms are well coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with the reserved dill. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.
