I don't know if I ever had beech mushrooms. (I can't even imagine the smell
) I do like hen in the woods as well. I looked into a class where you pick morels and cook in the same class but it was pretty far north. The problems with morels at the grocery store is that it is $24.99 a pound. Too steep for my taste. i bought them once for a chicken and morel dish and thought I would like other mushrooms instead.
I found the beech mushrooms at my store -they are pretty!!! here they are 24.99 a pound right now and the shiitake are 10.99 (Heinens)
have you every tried adding dried ground mushrooms to a dish... I heard about that but have never tried that.
I went to the grocery store today and bought some organic plum tomatoes, organic basil, organic red onions and some tiny fresh mozzarella for lunch tomorrow.
I will make the polenta with mushrooms Tuesday.I made
Jacques Pepin's asparagus with mustard sauce - delicious - it's asparagus cooked - put out on the counter to cool off, with this salad was tomatoes, capers, parsley, kalamata olives with a lemon juice/olive oil/s/p/dijon mustard dressing.
