![]() | SHIITAKE
Mushroom. Perhaps the best known of the exotic mushrooms. The Shiitake mushroom
is a native species of Japan. They are denser than regular mushrooms and should
be cut up in small thin slices or pieces. Discard the stems or use them in soups
& stocks, as they are a bit tough. Shiitake is a star when it comes to versatility.
This dark brown mushroom, with caps ranging in size from 2 to 4 inches, is the
most widely consumed mushroom in Asia. It has been cultivated there for centuries.
Its earthy fragrance and meaty texture enhances a wide variety of dishes since
the results are beautiful whether they are sautéed, baked, grilled, stir fried,
or sliced thin and used in salads. Shiitake mushrooms have traditionally been
used to add complexity to stews or soups, and the stems create deeply flavourful
stocks. Shiitake may also be stuffed and grilled. Gourmet Mushrooms adheres to
the stringent quality standards developed in Japan that require the edges of the
cap to be "in-rolled "; thus the consumer is assured of locked in flavour and
longer shelf life. Available from us fresh in 150grm containers. Price £3.00 |

Mushrooms have an earthy, forest flavour which is enhanced when sautéed with shallots
and the silky texture withstands the sautéing process well. The layer of naturally

bright-orange colour and glossy, moist texture of this mushroom add an enchanting
dimension to culinary creations. This mushroom is a wonderful complement for meat,
fowl, and game. Nameko is popular in Asia where it is a standard ingredient in
