Porcini Mushrooms
As a recently born again mushroom addict I am making up for lost time. I am always on the look out for new varieties to try and Porcini are my current favourite. 🙂
I buy them dried from France as they don’t grow wild in Australia and they have resisted domestication. When you open the packet you are rewarded with a lovely nutty umami smell. They taste just as good and I use them as a flavour base in my stews, casseroles and soups.
Dietary Info: Great for vegetarians, vegans and is gluten free.
Fresh they look stunning and I would love to get my hands on some.
Try them in my PK’s Slow Cooked Beef Bourguignon.
Enjoy,
PK

Black Morels (Morchella elata)
A good friend of mine recently found these edible black morel mushrooms (a species of Morchella) foraging in inner Perth, Western Australia.
Urban foraging is not as big in Australia as it should be and I hope it grows and grows. It is a great way to spend time with your friends and get a feed at the same time.
They keep so well. My foraging friends reckons you can eat them fresh with olive oil and a pinch of rock salt, or boil and dehydrate them to preserve them for later.
Please let me know if you have any recipes/tips you want to share with the world.
Enjoy,
PK
