Preparation
- Thoroughly wash the mushrooms, dry them on paper towels, and remove any damaged parts, if present. Cut the prepared champignons into several pieces on a cutting board. The mushroom slices should be large enough.
- Place the champignons on a dry heated frying pan. Wait until they release liquid, then tightly cover the frying pan with a lid. While the champignons are simmering in the pan, prepare the onion. Using a knife, remove the peel, rinse, and cut into thin half-rings.
- Open the can of fish preserves. Place the sardine slices in a deep bowl and mash them using a fork. Cut the pickled cucumbers into small pieces using a sharp knife. Add the cucumbers to the bowl with sardines.
- Meanwhile, the liquid from the frying pan with mushrooms should have completely evaporated. Add olive oil to the champignons, salt, and add the chopped onion.
- Cook the onion with mushrooms under a closed lid for another 10-15 minutes. While the champignons are cooking, grate the smoked sausage cheese on a fine grater. Add the grated cheese to the bowl with sardines and cucumbers, then add the green peas, draining the liquid from them beforehand.
- By this time, the champignons and onion should be golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and let its contents cool down. While the mushrooms cool down, boil the chicken eggs. Add the cooled champignons and onion to the bowl with sardines and other ingredients. Cool the boiled eggs, chop them, and also add them to the combined components.
- Dress the salad with mayonnaise; if desired, you can add dried herbs, greens, ground pepper, and other spices. Mix all the ingredients together.
