Shiitake Mushroom
Shiitake were our first mushroom, and are still the most popular choice with Chefs and our customers. The rich fleshy taste makes Shiitake an excellent replacement for meat in vegetarian meals and work wonders in sauces.
Dried Shiitake
We also preserve our mushrooms by dehydrating them. This process causes the mushrooms to loose about 80% of their weight. after soaking in warm water for about 20 minutes they rehydrate. The water can then also be used as an excellent base for a stock or sauce.
Tips and ideas
Our favorite way to serve Shiitake is to make a Crostini:
Take a slice of fresh bread and lightly toast, fry finely chopped shiitake in butter with some herbs and season. Rub the toast with a slice of garlic, place Shiitake mixture on top and enjoy!!
