These are two nice oyster mushrooms I picked up at Dave's Market...a locally owned grocery store here in Rhode Island....they have a great selection of fruits and vegetables...they always try to have locally grown produce which is wonderful...
Isn't this a pretty mushroom...the gills on this mushroom are so nice...
To roast is a cinch...just remove the mushrooms from the stem...sort of tear off easily...tear into small pieces and place on a baking sheet...these two mushrooms made a lot so two sheets were needed. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes...roast in a 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes...roasting time really depends on the size of mushrooms pieces so just roast till the pieces have cooked to a deep brown, shriveled up and look like bacon...
Here they are done...you have to remove them from the baking sheet with a bench scraper which is not hard to do...and drain on paper towels...they are delicious alone but can be used in so many ways...top a soup, add to a sandwich, toss with egg or potato salad, mix with scrambled eggs or a frittata...get the idea...endless ways to use these mushrooms...
We had them on a tossed salad with a basil vinaigrette I made...absolutely delightful...Elizabeth
