Mushroom Epicureans Unite!
« on: September 17, 2008, 11:01:14 PM »
Actually, we ended up with a huge crop of button mushrooms this year in a our garden. We didn't intend to... in fact, we didn't plant any at all, yet, in the pot where asparagus was growing there was a bountiful harvest of familiar looking fungi. So we cut one off, took it to see the farmer's market and were told by an "expert" that they are common button mushrooms and safe to eat. I haven't died yet... or gotten high... so he must have been right.

The point of this little tale is to pick your brains for your favourite mushroom dishes, because my knowledge of mushroom dishes is pretty limited.  :|
Anyone have any good ideas?

Though first instincts do not pair it with mushrooms, I adore cinnamon. This wonderful spice makes any dish worthwhile. If cinnamon could be worked into corn dogs, culinary abominations though they are and would remain, they would indeed become palatable. That I recommend this recipe should, thus, be no surprise.

I recommend stuffed olives as an accompaniment to this dish, but you can use cucumber or tomato slices with olive oil, or whatever you like. Go nuts; cooking is about exploration.
