Looking for something warm and cozy to combat the cold & flu season, not to mention this great “Spring” weather we are having? It’s sunny and 60’s one second and the next day it’s snowing and in the 20’s. My sinuses can’t keep up. This is the type of weather that causes my stuffy and runny nose combo. This recipe is good for all of the weird ailments you may be battling as this weather keeps throwing our bodies for a loop. Shiitakes are known to have many medicinal benefits. They are said to be full of antiviral and immune system building properties. I had several shiitake stems and leftovers from what we pulled off. We tend to keep the bad looking shiitakes for us and we end up eating mushrooms for days. I made this recipe using 3lbs of shiitakes! I will give you a break down of a recipe that uses 1 lb of mushrooms that will easily feed 4-8 people. This recipe does take quite a bit of prep work and patience but the results are rich and full of flavor. Everyone will love this dish.
