2.5 oz fresh cream

4 tbsp De Nigris Gold Eagle Balsamic Vinegar

For the recipe

Clean the porcini mushrooms well with a brush and a damp cloth; if they are very large, divide the stems from the chapels. Cut into 2 cm thick slices, add salt and pepper.

Prepare the batter by pouring water and flour inside a bowl ; then, add the balsamic vinegar and mix well with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and without lumps. Add salt to the batter.

Crumble the cornflakes with your hands and place them in a bowl or plate.

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF.

Place the slices of porcini mushrooms first in the batter and then in the corn flakes, making them stick well until they are evenly covered; place them gradually on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Finish with a little oil and bake the nuggets in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: blend the walnuts, cream, oil and De Nigris Gold Eagle Balsamic Vinegar in a mixer until you get a well-emulsified cream.
