Wipe any excess dirt from mushrooms and place in a clip lock bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw and slice when ready to cook.
- Preserve:
Scatter mushrooms, cap side down on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and top with a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Bake at 180c or 160C fan for 10-12 mins. Season well and pack into sterilized jars. Cover with vegetable oil, pressing mushrooms down to release any air pockets. Seal and store in a cool place for up to 3 months.
