Ingredients
- 1 kg hribi
- 4 garlic cloves
- 4 green onions
- 50 ml red wine
- 25 g butter
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 300 ml tomato stock
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 bunch freshly chopped parsley
- Salt and white pepper to taste

Step by step

Step 1: Preparing the hribs
Start by cleaning the hribs. Use a sharp knife to remove the dirty parts and cut away any damaged areas. Try not to hose them down as they can absorb excess water; instead, wipe them with a damp cloth. When you're done, cut them into medium-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

Step 2: Preparing the vegetables
Finely chop the garlic and green onion. They'll add a fresh flavor and a delicious contrast to the chives. Garlic, in particular, will add flavor, so don't be shy about using it liberally.

Step 3: Cooking the ingredients
In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. The butter will add a rich touch and the oil will prevent it from burning. Once the butter has melted and the mixture is foamy, add the garlic and green onions. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until they are tender and the flavors combine.

Step 4: Adding the hribs
Add the hribs to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. At first, the hribs will release water, but this will evaporate and the mushrooms will take on a rich texture and intense flavor. Here, you can add salt and white pepper to taste.

Step 5: Enrich the flavor
Once the hribs are cooked and have a nice color, add the red wine. This will bring a subtle but complex flavor to your dish. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.

Step 6: Making the sauce
Add the tomato stock, dried thyme and sugar. The sugar will counterbalance the acidity of the tomatoes, giving a balanced flavor. Stir well and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7: Finalizing and serving
When the sauce is ready, take the pan off the heat and add the freshly chopped parsley. This will not only add a touch of freshness, but also make the dish more visually appealing. Serve the hribi hot, with a side of fresh bread or breadcrumbs to savor every last drop of sauce.

Practical tips
- Choosing the hribs: Buy fresh hribs, without blemishes or unpleasant odor. If you can't find fresh hribs, you can use dried hribs; be sure to rehydrate them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- Variations: You can add other mushrooms, such as champignon or oyster mushrooms, for a variety of textures. You can also replace the red wine with white wine or omit the alcohol, adding a little extra broth instead.
- Nutritional benefits: Hribs are a good source of vegetable protein, vitamins and minerals and are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for a healthy diet. This recipe in total contains about 350 calories per serving, depending on the oil and butter used.
