Mother Nature
is amazing. every september for the past 11 years - mother has gifted us with a chicken mushroom.
it grows on the oak tree by our patio and pops up right after labor day. regardless of a rainy or dry season….there it is. i usually anticipate it but this year forgot - so i was delighted to walk out and spot it. it is not large - but enough for breakfast for two.
chicken mushroom really does have the taste and texture of chicken. really.
chicken mushroom takes well to a quick saute and a quick braise in chicken stock & thyme.
tender & flavorful mushrooms folded into a farm egg omelet and topped with grated parmesan = sunday breakfast.
not to be greedy - but hey ! mother nature - i have plenty more oak trees !
