Mushroom Powder
Today we have... sawdust! 😋 sorry, I couldn't help myself, but that's what it looks like, right? Actually, it's just mushroom powder that you can use as a seasoning in countless ways. I've written some ideas below in the recipe, but if you have other ideas, I look forward to hearing them. I bought the dried mushrooms from Cora a few weeks ago, and when I need them, I grind as much as fits in the coffee grinder at once and get about 3 tablespoons of powder.
Ingredients
dried wild mushrooms (porcini, chanterelles, etc.)
How to prepare mushroom powder
- Dry the mushrooms in a food dehydrator or buy them already dried.
- Put the mushrooms in a coffee grinder and blend until you get a powder.
- Store in a closed container for short periods. It's best to grind only as many mushrooms as you know you'll use in the next 2-3 weeks, otherwise the taste becomes unpleasant if the powder sits too long.
- Uses:
- in stews, sauces, soups, cream soups that pair well with mushroom flavor
- in gnocchi dough, other pasta doughs, or in bread dough
- in dough for flour dumplings
- in rice pilaf or risotto; in omelets or salad dressings
- in soy meatballs to give them a better flavor
- can be added to seasoned breadcrumbs used for breading; or for those who want to reduce carbs, you can completely replace breadcrumbs with mushroom powder
- mixed with salt, pepper, and other dried herbs, you can make a seasoning for grilled meat or roasts.
