Mushrooms: Chanterelles, Porcinis, Hen of the Woods
Nutritional Information:
Good source of riboflavin.
What To Look For:
Look for dry and firm mushrooms with a sweet earthy smell.
If the caps are open, the gills should look fresh (they shouldn't
be matted down).
Storage, Easy Cooking:
Store in a closed paper bag (or in a cardboard container)
in refrigerator for several days. They will turn slimy if
kept too long. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak
in water to clean.
Best Uses:
Can be eaten raw or cooked. Can be sautéed, marinated, grilled,
broiled, used in salads, stuffed, or used in soups and stews.
Especially good if partnered with olive oil, garlic, parsley,
lemon, rosemary, pine nuts, wine, sherry, onions, leeks, or
rice.
