Preparation & storage
Storage
Preferably use the golden velvet leg as fresh as possible. Store the golden velvet leg in the refrigerator WITH FOOD BOW at a temperature between 4° and 7°C. They will then keep for up to 2-3 days.
Leave them in the packaging to prevent dehydration. Do not store mushrooms with strong-smelling vegetables, such as leeks and onions, as they easily pick up odours.
Preparation
Cut a piece off the bottom of the stalk, then slice or quarter them.
Like other mushrooms, do not boil, fry or braise them too long. Then the golden velvet leg loses its flavour and firmness.
