Shiitake

Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms taste rich, meaty, and buttery when cooked. While you can eat shiitakes raw, their flavor is much more pronounced and developed when they’re cooked.

The stems of the shiitake mushroom are stringier and harder than the cap, and you can cut off the bottom half of the stem — or the entire stem — to make the mushrooms easier to eat. But the stems hold a lot of flavour, so try cutting them in very thin slices or removing the stems after cooking.

If you are new to Shiitake, try sauteeing them in oil or butter, pepper, salt, – and a dash of our Crushed Garlic Scape in Olive Oil and use a side-dish for any meat or vegetable. Fabulous! And so easy!
