My friend’s father gifted me a big of these giant Emperor Mushrooms and I just had to make something using them!
These mushrooms are relatively new to western society but I have a feeling that they will definitely be becoming more popular in the future.
When cooked, they have a tender “meaty” texture and soak up a lot of delicious sauce. These mushrooms are apparently also packed with nutrition!
Here is the recipe:
