basic recipe for cooking wild mushrooms

Ingredients
fresh mushrooms, any kind

bit of garlic

bit of onion

lots of herbs, fresh or not (ie herbes de provence, but avoid using basil - too strong)

vegetable oil, avoid olive oil

thick slice of raw ham (ie some parma ham if you are rich, an erzatz if you are not)

Method
Gently fry the onions + garlic + raw ham cut in small dices in veg oil, add herbs, once golden add diced mushrooms - (it is important that the mushrooms should be cut in small pieces) - cook it for a while, still gently.

That' s it. Eat it with some fried polenta - and possibly a mixed salad -

PS : I know it sounds silly to say this but make sure your mushrooms are eatable before you cook them - recently my mum cooked (what she thought) was a baby Amanite des Césars (that she picked here in the collines), well half an hour after eating it she started having hallucinations - so she dialled the emergency services here in France but as she did not get a reply straightaway she just went to bed instead - woke up the following morning, still alive and well. I do not think it was an Amanite des Césars. Please do not do this.
