This recipe calls for only a handful of elements:.
Where to Find Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms are becoming quite simple to find. Seek them out in farmers’ markets, Asian markets, or upscale grocery stores.
Another excellent method to acquire some oysters is by cultivating them on your own! It’s enjoyable and extremely straightforward to accomplish.
To cultivate these yellow oyster mushrooms, I utilized a Shroom Bloom Mushroom Kit from Sharondale Farm.
It was about as involved as simply cutting a slit in a burlap bag and placing it in a dish of water.
To my joy, in approximately a week I had some infant mushrooms!
It is absolutely remarkable how quickly mushrooms thrive. In just a few days after emerging, these magnificent specimens were ready for harvesting.
How to Clean Oyster Mushrooms
Oysters purchased from stores are usually quite sanitary, but, as you can observe, wild ones can be a little…Dirty.
Start by removing any sizable debris using a firm brush, and then proceed to cleanse the caps and gills of oyster mushrooms by gently wiping them with a moist cloth or paper towel.
Avoid washing oyster mushrooms with water as it can cause them to become mushy, resulting in a lack of crispiness when cooked in a frying pan.
After being harvested (or bought), slice the mushrooms into pieces of the same size to ensure even cooking.
Warm up two tablespoons of olive oil in a spacious, sturdy frying pan over medium high heat.
Place the mushrooms in a consistent layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until they start to become golden.
Flip the mushrooms and let them cook for an extra 3-5 minutes until they are beautifully browned on all sides.
Add two tablespoons of grass-fed ghee or butter to a pan and heat it over medium-low. Then, add a few smashed cloves of garlic and sprigs of thyme to the pan.
For added flavor, season with salt and pepper. The mushrooms, which are a deep brown color and almost crispy, should be cooked in butter for approximately 5 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for cooking.
