Citrus filling with oyster mushrooms and fried croutons

Serves 4 Preparation:15 minutes Cooking:15 minutes

400g oyster mushrooms

2 oranges

2 grapefruits

1 small bowl of croutons

1/4 bunch of parsley

40g butter

1 tablespoon sunflower oil

1 dash of sherry vinegar

  • Wash and chop the parsley. Peel the citrus fruits raw (removing the thick skin with the white skin). Separate the quarters. Brown them in a pan with 20 g of butter, 1 minute on each side.
  • Fry the croutons for 2 minutes in the remaining butter and oil. Set them aside. Cut off the stems of the oyster mushrooms if necessary. Wash them quickly in cold water. Drain.
  • Cook them in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Salt and pepper halfway through cooking. When the vegetation water has evaporated, pour a dash of vinegar and the citrus juice. Take off the heat.
  • Insert the grapefruit and orange segments around the edges of the plates. Arrange the mushrooms in the centre.
  • Sprinkle with croutons and parsley. Serve

About the oyster mushroom:Choose it a little brittle, dry, firm, not frayed. Very fresh, it can be kept for 8 days in the refrigerator. Its elastic flesh hardens as it ages and requires longer cooking. It successfully replaces button mushrooms in many preparations.
