The Cep mushroom is a meaty, creamy yellow mushroom with a spongy underside rather than gills. Ceps have a strong flavour and a velvety texture.

How To Use Cep mushroom

Ceps are served cooked. Add to omelettes, fondues, mixed mushroom risottos, scrambled eggs or serve on toast as a light supper.

How To Prepare Cep mushroom

Using a small, sharp knife, scrape the spongy underside away before cooking (it goes soggy) and wash.

How To Cook Cep mushroom

Ceps can be stir-fried, grilled, roasted, poached in a microwave or fried. To fry, heat a little butter in a frying pan and cook over a high heat for 4 - 5 minutes. To grill, preheat the grill to high, brush the ceps with olive oil and cook for 5 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle cooked ceps with chopped garlic and fresh flat leaf parsley to serve.
