shrooms!

I was kinda thrilled to find these mushrooms at the market the other day.

They are cultivated in Japan and I am eagerly waiting to see portabellos in the near future.

With these and some eringi, I made a mushroom sauce, sauteeing the shrooms in some olive oil then drizzling some tonkatsu sauce. At the end I added a nub of butter.

I served this over a hamburger patty and a side of sweet potato mash for dinner the other night.

With the leftover hamburger patties and mushroom sauce, I made "loco moco" for breakfast the other day.

No gravy but this version was pretty delicious.
