Indlela ejwayelekile yokudla amakhowe kungaba eluhlaza kumasaladi noma kuphekwe ibhotela, uwoyela noma i-ghee. Amakhowe nawo angomiswa, ahlanganiswe emgodini, afafazwe bese kufakwa kuwo amasiga, amasosa nososo abenziwe ngomumo.
Amakhowe omisiwe afakwa kabusha emanzini noma umhluzi ngenkathi amakhowe omisiwe afafazwe angafafazwa ezitsheni ezinjengamasobho nososo. Amakhowe angashintshwa futhi afakwe inhlanganisela yezithako ezinjengewayini, uwoyela, uviniga, ugalikhi, amakhambi nezinongo. I-Mushroom paste (amakhowe ocutshisiwe, uwoyela, amantongomane, amakhambi nezinongo) imvamisa isetshenziswa njengezinkwa nokugcotshwa kwepasta, kanye nokuhambisana nenyama eyosiwe.
Eminye imikhiqizo ehlobene no-mushroom ifaka i-mushroom biltong, isikhumba samakhowe kanye nezinto zokuzikhulisa zekhowa. I-Biltong ngokwesiko inyama ebunjiwe eyisiphundu eyenziwe ukusikwa kwenyama enamakhaza nenephunga. I-Mushroom biltong iyi-snatch enobungane yama-vegan eyenziwe ngamakhowe asikiwe futhi omisiwe anjengamakhowe e-shiitake noma ama-oyster.
Isikhumba se-Mushroom sikhula kusuka ku-mycelium (isakhiwo esifana nezimpande isikhunta) futhi kuthatha amasonto amabili ukukhula size sifinyelele ku-cowhide ejwayelekile. Amakhithi we-mushroom azikhulisayo afaka izinhlansi kanye nenhlansi yokutshala amakhowe e-shiitake, enoki ne-oyster.
Amakhowe ayatholakala njengezithasiselo zezempilo ezixhasa izivikeli mzimba, ikhofi yama-mushroom enama-cordyceps amakhowe futhi asetshenziswa ku-skincare.
Amanye amakhowe angadliwa aluhlaza kumaladi kepha amakhowe amaningi aphekwa ngoyela, ibhotela noma i-ghee. Kukholelwa ukuthi amakhowe okugaya nama-microwave ayindlela enempilo yokupheka amakhowe.
Lapho ukupheka amakhowe chefs sincoma ukungeza usawoti kanye nopelepele ekugcineni kwenqubo yokupheka. Ukungeza usawoti ngenkathi upheka amakhowe kukhipha uketshezi futhi kunganciphisa inqubo yoku-browning.
Ukuqunjelwa okungu-meaty omningi kanye nokunambitheka kwe-umami kwamakhowe kwenza kube kuhle njengokufaka inyama esikhundleni sokudla okwenziwe ngemifino ne-vegan. Amakhowe aphakeme nge-guanylate, elinye lamakhompiyutha anikela ekunambithekeni kwe-umami kongahle. Ukunambitheka kwe-umami kuyanda njengoba amakhowe ansundu avuthwa kumakhowe amakhulu ansundu (i-portabella). Amakhowe amasha we-shiitake ne-shiitake eyomile aningi kakhulu lapho kuhlanganiswa ukunambitheka kwe-umami.
Ngokufanelekile, amakhowe kufanele agcinwe ezikhwameni zamaphepha ukumunca noma yimuphi umswakama ongaba khona lapho amazinga okushisa eshintsha lapho kugcinwa. Amashalofu wamakhowe aphakathi kwezinsuku ezinhlanu nezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kepha athenge njalo amakhowe aqine - i-sponginess neziqu ezinde (ku-Agaricus spp) zivame ukuba uphawu lwamakhowe aseduze kokuphela kwempilo yawo.
Ngaphandle kokukhiqiza amakhowe adliwayo, okuwukuphela kokusebenziseka kokulima kwamakhowe yi-compost yama-mushroom esetshenzisiwe. Umquba wekhowe wenziwa ngotshani, umquba wenkukhu, i-gypsum namanzi. Ngemuva kokuvunwa kwamakhowe, umanyolo osetshenzisiwe ungasetshenziswa emhlabathini ukwenza ngcono ukungena kwamanzi, umthamo wamanzi wokubamba, usize ukukhipha inhlabathi enobuthi futhi ukhulise okuqukethwe kwe-organic.
Umquba we-spent wekhowe ungaqukatha usawoti kanye nezinto eziphilayo ezingazinzile, ngakho-ke kufanele kuhlanganiswe futhi ukuze kuhlanganiswe kahle inhlabathi nokusetshenziswa kwamagciwane enhlabathi.
Ama-Truffles, imizimba yezithelo zesikhunta esingaphansi komhlaba, iyindlela ebusayo ebizayo ekhula ngaphansi kwezimo ezikhethekile zenhlabathi futhi imvamisa ihlotshaniswa nezimpande zezihlahla. Kunezinhlobo eziningi zama-truffles zivame ukukhula ezifundeni ezithile futhi ezihambisana nezihlahla ezithile. Isibonelo, i-truffle emnyama itholakala eduze kwezihlahla ze-oki, i-cherry kanye ne-hazelnut esifundeni sasePérigord eFrance.
Ama-truffles amaningi atshaliwe avela eSpain, kepha ama-truffles nawo angavunwa endle.
Kukhona ukulima okumbili ezweni laseNingizimu Afrika. Ukutshala kukhawulelwe ezindaweni ezinamazinga okushisa aphansi ebusika we-8℃ futhi kugxile kakhulu kwi-Périgord truffle emnyama ngokuhlangana nezihlahla ze-oki ezingalawulwanga.
