Dried Black Trumpets Mushrooms - 2 oz. Life Gourmet Shop;

Black trumpets are popular edible mushrooms. They have a rich, smoky flavor that is far better experienced than described. The season is from late summer to late autumn. The flavor is best after they have been dried. They have a sweet earthy richness that goes a long way to flavor soups, and stews and casseroles and they go particularly well with white fish for their flavor and as a great contrast. Black Trumpets are great in vegetarian cooking because they add a richness and depth that is often the role of meat in a recipe. These mushrooms are delicious sautéed in olive oil or butter. The dried mushrooms can then be chopped or powdered, and used to add flavor to recipes or white wines. Add your dried mushroom powder to rice dishes, or even couscous. Use it to make flavored butter. Once you start thinking about it as a spice you'll love how it can be used to flavor so many meals! Their deep flavor works well in many recipes. They're a great addition to soups, sauces, pasta dishes, seafood recipes, or meals with any sort of meat. Basically anything without a lot of other strong tasting ingredients that will overshadow your delicious trumpets!
