Flesh Of The Gods

Porcini 004There is no denying the power of the porcini mushroom, the first time it graces your mouth your life is changed forever.  Today I received 20 pounds of porcini mushrooms; I’m so excited I ordered 30 more pounds for tomorrow to preserve for use at a later date.  I have been dreaming lately about working with some porcinis.  I have to admit; I cleaned some up, tossed them in some oil, salt and pepper and grilled them off for a snack.  Now that’s what I call benefits, how many people out there get to do that for an after breakfast snack?  Tonight I will feature a salad of grilled porcinis, lombardy spinach, pepato cheese and warm benton bacon dressing.  Time to go play with the chanterelles that arrived today and look fantastic, I bet they taste even better!
