Morel/ramp/ovoid cream on pasta.

Crab and ramp stuffed morels over spicy vodka fusillini

2020 was a banner year for morels in my area. I picked roughly 13 pounds, mostly these small M. diminutiva bros. Rehydrated in milk, whisked an egg in, then tossed in crushed up Saltenes (salted), fried until crispy in some dank olive oil from Palestine. Fiddleheads I got from my farmers market gig.

BBQ Pulled Chicken (of the woods)

Whipped this up for breakfast today. Used a bacon press to flatten the mane into a nice steak, fried up some onion and bell pepper, 2 slices of cheddar melted into the toppings….simple and delicious.

Lions Mane “cheesesteak” on homemade croissant

I no longer eat chicken but I really get a craving for a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich and this definitely hit the spot 

I seared off the mushrooms before battering and frying them

Butter sautéed yellow oysters

COTW parm of sean 💅🏻💅🏻

So had a great blue oyster harvest the other day! Decided to do a slider with them. I put the caps in the pan top side down in butter. Then diced up finely fresh garlic and sundried tomatoes and threw that in the pan. Lastly I sliced up pepperoni and put that in the pan then toasted the slider buns in the pepperoni grease. Before throwing it all on the bun, I spread fresh pesto over the bun! So delicious! Newfound love is cooking with mushrooms!

Made a giant burrito with butter sauted lions mane and blue oyster. Finished them with taco seasoning. Sundried tomato wrap which paired super nicely with the mushrooms.

Chanterelles and French lentils.

Fried Chanty Hot Wings!!

Found a few big ears of them while hiking with my brother, so we decided to try them the traditional way. 
We sautéed them after a rinse with some onion and garlic in some neutral oil and finished in the end woth salt and a little bit of good olive oil. 

Roasted a green & red bell peper, half an onion and 3 big cloves of garlic in the oven untill the peel came off easy, then a quick mash with the stickblender to make the salsa. 

Homemade taco's and a little chipotle mayo as well 😋😋😋

Damn good stuff
