Fungalicious:
Enjoy our mushrooms with this weeks recipe:
Sautéed Oyster Mushrooms
Converting a mushroom hater into a mushroom enthusiast is easy when you give them a fork full of
perfectly cooked Oyster mushrooms. The main trick is to not to undercook the mushrooms and to make sure you salt them generously. Oyster mushrooms like long and slow heat and taste best when crisped slightly.
You will need:
One large cluster of Oyster mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
2 large garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tsp of salt + more to taste
Fresh ground black pepper
1 or 2 tbsp heavy cream
Step One: Mince garlic. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Roughly chop Oyster mushrooms and add to pan.
Step Two: Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid (5-10 minutes) then add the garlic, thyme, and salt.
Step Three: Sauté until all of the liquid is cooked off and continue to sauté until mushrooms crisp in the pan. Crisping will take 15-20 minutes.
Step Four: Remove from heat, deglaze pan with heavy cream and season to taste!
You can also amend the recipe by adding 1/2 cup of dry white wine when you add the garlic or by adding 1 Tbs or so of madeira when you deglaze the pan. Rosemary, sage, parsley, or lovage all make fine substitutions or additions to the thyme.

RnR Farm:
The past couple of “teen” degree weather took a hit on some of our lettuce production, we will be back soon.

We have several selections of Sour Dough Breads and Sweet Breads and Bars and of course Biscuits and Cornbread. Are you in a Jam?
