hen of the woods
    #22359838 - 10/10/15 04:22 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

found a bunch of old/past due hens today, but found this baby, tender and perfect, had some guilt about taking it early, but it's been awhile since i found these, and i forgot who said it on here, but for every 1 i find there are 1000 i don't, koraks maybe?

roughly the size of 1-1/2 fat grapefruits

gong to cut long 'steaks' about 3/8" thick, sautee in butter with some salt/pepper

serve with roast carrots & onions, steamed broccoli, london broil

yup

they were really sandy because the bottoms were like 4 inches off the ground, which was sand, and it rained the night before so every drop of rain sent sand splashing up into the bottom of the mushroom that was growing so fast the mushroom just incorporated the sand

the sand was washing down off the hillside, unique

just add pepper

:sunny:

That's the only mushroom I eat, but I never cook it. I chop it and marinate it for 30 minutes in unpasteurized soy sauce and olive oil. Then it's ready to add to a dish.

Cool, I'll try that if I can find more. Someone's been eating the mushrooms in my neighborhood. Just yesterday I passed a bunch of hen stumps, and a bunch of honey pins I had an eye on disappeared.

Here's an awesome raw hen-of-woods recipe called DavidReishi's Awesome Raw Maitake & Baby Bok Choy Soup. Serves two.

Ingredients:

- Grifola frondosa, baseball to softball size cluster, or 1 to 1.5 cups edible pieces
- Baby bok choy, 3-6 units, or 4 cups chopped
- Thai young coconut, water and flesh
- 6 tablespoons raw soy sauce or "Nama Shoyu"
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon raw coconut sugar (optional)
- Ginger, 1 inch piece finely chopped
- Garlic, 1/2 teaspoon minced
- 1/2 teaspoon jalepeno sauce or fresh chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- Spring water, a couple cups

1. Rinse and chop into large pieces the baby bok choy. Toss with 3 tablespoons raw soy sauce and 2 tablespoons olive oil, then lay out on a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet over a light heat source for 3 hours, covered loosely with foil and tossing a couple times during the wait. The cookie sheet surface should never get too hot to hold your finger to it. This will soften the bok choy without cooking it and destroying important enzymes such as myrosinase. (In pics 2 and 3, which are before and after, there's a glass bowl between the cookie sheet and the heater.)



2. Slice or chop the hen-of-the-woods mushrooms to your liking, and marinate for 30 minutes in 3 tablespoons raw soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and, if you like a little sweetness, 1 tablespoon raw coconut sugar (or 1/2 the amount of regular sugar), tossing frequently.



3. In the meantime, remove the coconut water from the young Thai coconut. (It should yield around a cup.) Add spring water to make 2.5 cups total. Then open the coconut and remove all the flesh with a spoon, being careful to pick off any non-flesh specks or pieces.



4. Place coconut water and flesh, along with ginger, garlic, jalepeno, turmeric and cumin, into a blender, preferably a Vitamix type, and blend until smooth and perhaps the blender container is a tad warm to the touch. Remove to serving bowls and stir in sea salt to taste. Don't be shy, get the saltiness just right for your taste. Then stir in baby bok choy and drained mushrooms, add a little garnish if you like, and enjoy!
