Hon Shimeji Mushrooms, 300g

As with so many mushrooms, the joy of the Shimeji mushroom lies in its subtlety. As beautiful as it is delicate, this mushroom should not be eaten raw; it has a deeply bitter taste and is hard to digest in this form. Cooked however, it’s a delight with a nutty flavour and a firm texture that makes it well suited to soups or stews. Another way to use this wonderful mushroom is in salads; slow roast the mushrooms and add them in when dressing your salad for added flavour and texture.
