In the heart of Polish cuisine lies a humble yet extraordinary ingredient: forest mushrooms. This Fresh Mushroom Sauce is a versatile addition to any meal, bringing a touch of comfort to your table. Whether you’re drizzling it over Gołąbki or using it as a hearty topping for Kotlety Mielone, this sauce is sure to evoke warm, familial flavors. Join me in the kitchen as I explore the simple steps to create this delightful sauce that captures the essence of Polish comfort food.
You can actually use here frozen mushrooms too, they would be as good as fresh.
Which mushrooms do we pick in Poland?
- Chanterelle – kurka
- Slippery Jack – maślak
- Porcini -borowik (boletus)
- Saffron milk cap– rydz mleczaj
- Oyster mushroom – boczniak

These are the main and most popular mushrooms, but there are many more! Remember to only pick mushrooms that you know and are completely sure about.
