Stage 4
The beauty of this recipe is that you can eat it just as it is: a fresh salad of crunchy mushrooms.
Or you can leave it to stand for a good hour or so in the fridge covered with plastic film for a tender salad of marinated mushrooms.
Or, for yet another twist: fry up quickly in a pan, without adding any extra fat, for simple sautéed mushrooms.

Dublin fruit scones
Scones originated in Britain and Ireland. The Irish version is often made plain and traditionally served with tea. Scones are more of a bread than a cake, eaten split in half and spread with butter or jam, for example. There are also sweeter versions and scones with dried fruit, like the ones I have made here.
