Ways to eat shiitake mushrooms
1. Sautéed Shiitake
Slice the shiitake mushrooms thinly. Also slice up a small onion, and mince a clove of garlic. On a small pan, heat up some olive oil, and throw in the onion and garlic for a minute. Pour the thinly-sliced shiitakes and cook until they're soft. You can also serve on top of rice. It's simple, quick, tasty and healthy.
2. Grilled Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms can be grilled along with your other barbecue fare. For an even tastier dish, you can prep them by rubbing a little bit of oil on each one. For a more flavorful taste, rub in some salt and pepper. Rosemary or thyme would also be great flavor add-ons. Put on the grill for about 4 minutes each side.
3. Steamed Shiitake
Place the shiitake mushrooms in a covered pan, add a bit of water or broth in it, and pop it in the oven to steam. Don't go over 30 minutes to avoid sogginess. Once finished, make sure to set aside the juices from it, as this will make a great gravy sauce.
4. Shiitake Mushroom Sauce
The juices from the shiitake have a lot of distinct flavor to them too, and would be great as gravy, sauce or even soup. In a pan, mix together some beef stock, flour and shortening. If you recently steamed some shiitake mushrooms, use the stock from this as well for a more robust flavor. Add a pinch of salt and dash of freshly ground pepper. Throw in some shiitake mushrooms, and sauté for about 5 minutes. You have a great mushroom sauce to complement your dishes.
