Living in French France as we do, cepe mushrooms are all round us at this time of year for the picking (€28 a kilo in local shops)
Tooooooo many to eat now! So, how do I dry em for out of season use? Thanks.

You can dry them in a low oven. See link below:

As well as drying they make excellent mushroom and garlic soup if you've freezer space. Just mushrooms,gnarliest, and good quality stock. You could make a concentrate then add more stock when thawed.

Hi Ken, just wipe them over with some kitchen paper to remove any bits of grass etc, do not wash as they will go soggy as with any mushroom, then slice, put in a freezer bag and after pushing as much air out of the bag as possible, tie up and put in the freezer, they will last a good six months. When you defrost them take them out of the bag first and put on kitchen paper then again they don't go soggy which makes them rubbery in texture. Drying can be tricky as heat is detrimental to the flavour and even hydrators can be too hot, the old fashion method of air drying is best but laborious. I agree that the mushroom and garlic soup is wonderful as is a risotto, good luck Sue.
