RE: Mushroom Monday - Wood Ear Jerky Recipe

in Fungi Lovers3 years ago

This is so cool! I make jerky, but, I have never made it out of mushrooms! And you are right, they are tasteless, but, that is also the beauty of them, absorbing the spices you toss on them.

Thank you! This is great! It tastes like beef jerky?

I got the idea from a product in the store that turned regular portobello mushrooms into jerky. The result was not the greatest as the store bought product was too chewy. Then I remembered how wood ear dries and is more like a jerky texture. For taste once you add all the spices and soy sauce it really does taste quite a bit like beef jerky. Though if you wanted even more of the beef taste you could always cook the mushrooms in a beef broth with the spices.
