Oyster Mushroom Shwarma
For some reason I woke up the other day thinking that a mushroom shwarma might be something worth investigating. Not sure where the thought came from, and I wasn’t quite sure how the marinated vegetables would pair with the spice roasted mushrooms but after taking that first bite any apprehension just melted away. The mushrooms act as the perfect meat substitute in this vegan sandwich, and the burst of acid brought by the salad topping adds such a deliciously crunchy, uplifting freshness to the earthy mushrooms it had me wondering why I ever questioned it at all! Like many of the recipes I like to share on my website, this…

Oyster Mushroom Pasta
With only 7 ingredients (well, 9 if you are counting salt and pepper) this recipe makes it extremely easy to add more mushrooms into your meal routine with such little effort it is almost criminal! This is one of those dishes that is way more than the sum of its parts: it comes together in about 30 minutes with no special ingredients except a half pound of Oyster Mushrooms (let us hook you up with some right here). It is surprisingly decadent, and nicely mushroom forward which in my book makes it the perfect easy and healthy-ish weeknight meal, but also elevated enough to make it worthy of a special…

Thai Jungle Curry with Lion’s Mane
Because I am almost always craving Thai food and there aren’t many places to find a good curry in the Lewis County area, I decided to try crafting my own simplified version of a jungle curry featuring Lion’s Mane mushrooms in place of chicken with ingredients that aren’t terribly difficult to come by. While this is a paired down version from a truly authentic Thai dish, it still hits all the right flavor notes, and the spice level is high! Don’t worry if you can’t find all of the vegetables to add in, while the addition of ingredients like the makrut lime leaves and Thai eggplant will add to the…

The funky combination of the miso and parmesan with the earthy mushrooms is surprisingly addictive. It comes together in about 45 minutes, making it perfect for last minute guests, cocktail parties, a first course to a pasta night, Sunday brunch… pretty much any situation that requires a little something delicious to be served. I like to use oyster mushrooms because of their rich umami flavor, but Maitake would be amazing here! Grab some oyster mushrooms from our online shop to get started on making this flavor packed flatbread. Originally found in the…
