This fall mushroom leg stew recipe combines the rich taste of meat with the savoriness of fresh mushrooms, providing a hearty and comforting meal perfect for chilly days. Essential ingredients - 2 chicken thighs (about 800 g) - 500 g autumn mushrooms (ghebe or any other preferred variety) - 500 ml chicken soup (can also be cubed, but freshly made is preferable) - 1 medium onion - 50 g butter (you can use salted butter for a richer taste) - 2 garlic cloves - 200 g cream (for a creamy sauce) - Salt, pepper, thyme (optional) - Fresh parsley and dill (for garnish) Helpful ingredient tips - Choose mushrooms that are fresh, firm and blemish-free. Fall mushrooms, such as chanterelles, are perfect for this recipe because of their intense texture and flavor. - If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use canned mushrooms, but be sure to drain them well before using. - Replace chicken thighs with turkey or pork for a different but equally tasty alternative. Step-by-step preparation 1. Preparing the mushrooms Start by washing the mushrooms well under cold running water. Then put them in a pot of boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes. This will help remove impurities and bitterness. Once they have boiled, drain them and leave them to cool. Once they have cooled, you can gently puree them in a food processor to get an even, but not very smooth texture, to preserve some of their consistency. 2. Boiling the pulps In the same pot, add the chicken thighs along with your favorite vegetables (carrots, celery, parsley) for extra flavor. Cook them in the chicken stock for 30-40 minutes until tender. When they're ready, remove the drumsticks and let them cool slightly before deboning. Break the meat into fairly large pieces, so that it feels nice and tender in the stew. 3. Preparing the base for the stew In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown and soft (about 5 minutes). Then add the mushrooms and crushed garlic. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, so that the flavors combine. 4. Combining the ingredients Stir in the soup in which the chicken is cooked. Let the sauce simmer until it begins to reduce slightly. This is the ideal time to add the cream, stirring continuously to obtain a creamy sauce. Then add the boneless chicken, season with salt, pepper and thyme to taste, and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes. 5. Finalizing and serving When the sauce has reached the desired consistency, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and dill on top. Serve the stew piping hot, alongside the soft breadcrumbs, which will absorb all the delicious flavors of the sauce. Serving suggestion For a touch of freshness, add a green salad with tomatoes and cucumber, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This combination will give you a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors. Nutritional benefits This stew is not only tasty but also nutritious. The chicken meat is an excellent source of protein and the mushrooms contribute B vitamins and antioxidants. The sour cream adds extra calcium and healthy fats and the fresh greens complete the nutritional profile. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use turkey or pork? Yes, these meats are excellent and will go very well with mushrooms. 2. How can I spice up the stew? Adding chopped chili peppers or chili flakes while the onions are cooking can make it spicier. 3. What other garnishes go well with stew? In addition to the dumplings, you can serve the stew with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. 4. Can I make the stew in advance? Absolutely! The stew is even tastier the next day, after the flavors have had time to develop. Possible variations - Add vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the stew for extra flavor and nutrients. - You can experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as champignon, hribi or even shiitake mushrooms, for a variety of flavors. - If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a few drops of Tabasco sauce or chili paprika. I hope this recipe becomes part of your culinary repertoire and brings you joyful moments with family and friends! Bon appétit!
