Ingredients
 

For the potatoes:

  • 1 liter Water
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 4 medium-sized Potatoes, mainly waxy

For the mushrooms:

  • 250 g Mushrooms, brown-capped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

To sprinkle:

  • 4 tbsp Celery leaves, fresh or frozen
  • 30 g Breadcrumbs
  • 100 g Pecorino, grated, alternatively mountain cheese
  • 1 tbsp Herbal mix, Italy
  • 2 tsp Chicken broth, Kraft bouillon
  • 2 tsp Pepper, black, fresh from the mill
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Also:

  • 50 g Parmesan, finely grated

To garnish:

  • Flowers and leaves

Instructions
 

For the potatoes:

  • Mix the lemon juice with the water and dissolve the salt in it. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut across into 4 mm thick slices. Place the slices in the salted water until you are ready to use them.
  • Clean the mushrooms (DO NOT wash), roughly chop them, sprinkle with lemon juice and mix well.
  • To sprinkle, place the ingredients in a large enough bowl and mix well.
  • Grease a smaller baking dish with a little olive oil. Rinse the potato slices and shake dry. Place a layer of potato slices in the pan and cover with mushrooms. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture on top and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Apply another layer like this. Finish with grated Parmesan cheese. This results in a strong-tasting crust.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees on the middle shelf for 45 minutes. Serve warm in the pan and enjoy.

Annotation:

  • This dish can be cooked year round with a number of cultivated mushrooms I cooked it with brown-capped Shimeji pizzas and it smelled and tasted so good that I put my steak back in the fridge and cleaned up the casserole on my own.
