We've now been living here in Barcelona for a month and are enjoying the many different foods available at grocery stores and markets. At our nearby Bon Preu we picked up some rabbit sausage, and at the delightful Mercat Ninot we found rovellons, a wild mushroom much prized around here.
The sausages are mild and have very little fat, so we we cooked them covered with a little oil and pepper. For the fungus, we carefully cleaned them of their straw and soil, then followed this mushroom-nerd's recommendation to cover with water and boil it off to cook them, then finish with a saute with oil, garlic, and parsley.
We served them simply, with pa amb tomaquet, toasted bread rubbed with garlic and tomato, then a lashing of good olive oil and some finishing salt.
I've only had the rovellons once before, and these didn't seem as flavorful as I recalled, but I may have diluted the flavor with a bit too much water. In the market, they were 60€/Kg, so I don't want to mistreat them. I'll try them again at a restaurant, and want to explore other wild mushrooms we can readily find here.
