8 Ounces: SHIITAKE - Premium
grade, cultivated mushrooms.
Also known as the black forest
mushroom, Shiitake is a very
versatile mushroom. Shiitake can
be sautéed,, broiled, baked,
grilled, stir fried. Its meaty
flavor enhances almost any dish
and dried shiitakes can absorb
your cooking sauce and uniquely
enhance the flavor of your
favorite dishes.
Dried mushrooms should be stored
in a cool place in an airtight
container, for up to a year, or
placed in the freezer for longest
shelf life.
It takes ten pounds of premium
fresh wild mushrooms to make one
pound of dried mushrooms. Dried
mushrooms may be rehydrated and
used in cooking just like fresh
mushrooms. Use about One Ounce of
dried mushrooms for each 8 to 10
ounces of fresh mushrooms called
for in a recipe. The rehydration
process is easy; just soak as many
mushrooms as you would like to
cook with in warm, lightly salted
or sugared water for an half hour
or so and they are ready to cook
with. Some people prefer to
rehydrate mushrooms in a wine
diluted with water (about 10:1).
