Mushroom Shimeji Brown

Pretty clusters of long ivory stems and tiny buff caps, brown Shimeji mushrooms have an intense, sometimes bitter, flavour when raw which cooks to a mellow nuttiness. An attractive addition to the plate, they're at home in both Asian and European cuisines, and pair well with wild game, poultry, miso, ginger or garlic and rosemary, which emphasises its woodland flavour.
