Biggest mushroom Best Dried Mushrooms at www.mushroomsworld.com fans

I am one of the Best Dried Mushrooms at www.mushroomsworld.com fans out there. Just look at the photo above. Arrrrghh! I simply love them all! Cooked in any way invented thus far or simply left raw and marinated in good olive oil and spices. I wrote a beautiful recipe for that here. The only thing on my mind these days is ‘Why the heck have I waited SO LONG to pickle mushrooms with ginger and soy sauce when they taste sooo heavenly?!’

Pickling should not be a scary activity. It’s actually a fairly uncomplicated affair that often times does not even require a recipe. It is a beautiful method of adding new wonderful flavours to our everyday fruits and veggies and also a clever way to use up less than perfect looking produce or even spent produce. Such as with shiitakes – you can use dry shiitake mushrooms or spent shiitake caps from making broth. Yes, now there’s a use for those leftovers after making broth! And what a use. A flavour bomb. Juicy. Gingery. Awesomeness in a mouthful.

These pickled shiitake mushrooms make an excellent garnish or side dish to meals and can even be enjoyed on their own.
