MUSHROOM STOCK AND SOUP | FUMET DE SETAS Y SOPA DE LAS MISMAS

n autumn, I love foraging for mushrooms and there is never a year when I don’t go to look for them on a few walks.

This dish was commonly found in northern Spain and was always cooked in the spring with the new lamb season. It’s one of those ugly brown but very tasty slow-cooked stews Spain is famous for.

We also use other meats for this dish, such as goat or chicken.

Today you hardly ever find it in restaurants and only makes it as a family meal cooked mainly by grandmas.
