Mushroom fry with mealworms

Ingredients for 3 servings:
2 tablespoons of lard
2 onions
1 small carrot
2 cloves of garlic
0.5 kg of fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup of live mealworms
cumin, turmeric, salt, ground pepper
Instructions
- Blanch the mealworms in hot water, clean the mushrooms, and cut them into larger pieces.
- In a pan, heat the lard and start sautéing the thinly sliced onion and carrot.
- Once the onions are golden, add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, and add cumin for an interesting flavor, perhaps a pinch of turmeric. Evaporate all the moisture from the mushrooms on maximum heat on the stove.
- Once the water is gone, and the mixture starts frying again, it is essential to constantly stir and flip to thoroughly fry the mushrooms without burning.
- A few minutes before the end, reduce the temperature and add the minced garlic and the mealworms. Fry for only a short while under constant stirring until the worms absorb the flavor, as they are tiny and quickly burn.
- You can serve the mushroom sauté in various ways; some people like it on garlic toast, others may prefer it as a side dish with meat and rice.
