Notes
From the original author: experiment with using a mixture of different kinds of mushrooms for an exciting texture. Special varieties you find at the farmer’s market, like an oyster, chanterelle, or enoki, will be great. You also can’t go wrong with grocery store staples like cremini, button, or portobello.Pro Tip: Double the recipe ingredients so you have lots of leftovers- because let's face it, why cook twice when you can cook once? Right?
