You may have noticed, we have so many recipes with mushrooms, I‘m obsessed with them. I love the savory, earthy flavor that they bring to dishes.
I have recently used them in a lot of vegan recipes. They have a nice and dense texture that is good for replacing meat. For this recipe, I wanted to make them the star. Mushrooms have so much flavor on their own and I wanted to highlight that in this dish.
You can make this recipe with any blend of mushrooms that you want. I used crimini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms for my blend. I really wanted to use chanterelles because they have looked really good at the store lately, but I guess I missed the season for them this time. Any blend of mushrooms will work just fine though, so pick your favorites!
One thing to note when using a blend, is size. I had some tiny shiitake mushrooms and some big oyster mushrooms. A mismatch in size will impact the cook time.
Cut the larger mushrooms into halves or thirds, so they are more uniform in size. It doesn’t need to be perfect either! It just helps to give a more even cook across the mushroom blend.
Keep your mushrooms in your butter, not the floor,
