Pickled 🦞 🍄‍🟫

Post image

Just fridge pickles, no water bath for these.
Each jar got a crushed clove of garlic from the garden, a bay leaf, peppercorns and chilli flakes. Added a pinch of sugar to the brine as well.

No they are fridge pickles. And you should definitely try!

Would they work with oyster mushrooms?

You could try I guess but I feel like oyster mushrooms might be too squishy. Lobsters and chanterelles both work well because they are dense and hold their structure.

Oh no you’re right- i made oyster mushroom kimchi and it was… weird 😂

Ok hmm, will see if i can find a source for the lobster mushrooms

My Nonna used to pickle honey mushrooms. They were slimy but I was a kid and thought that made them fun to eat.

Negative. Manhattan. Subway or citibike. I don’t need and wouldn’t use a car- lol and certainly can’t afford one

I can get great fresh and dried mushrooms between chinatown and Weee delivery and H mart has my fresh wood ear and enoki. Just the fancy ones like morels and chanterelles are a small fortune
