Delicious in Dungeon #54: Roasted Walking Mushroom

Walking mushroom returns! Just like the ones from the very first recipe.


This one, though is a very simple dish from an amateur chef.


I wanted to get king oyster mushrooms but I couldn't find any... have they gotten rare again? Still I DID manage to find some nice chunky shiitake and plain oyster mushrooms.


To make this more fun im going to do a skewer of each. I'll pick out the biggest ones and use the rest for other stuff. They're great mushrooms for anything.


I don't wanna do em PLAIN plain, so im going to coat them in olive oil, salt and lime juice. The reference emphasizes the juiciness of the mushroom so I think this will represent that well.


I'm just gonna put em in a watertight bowl with a lid and shake!


Now I skewer 'em, one for each mushroom type, and grill them for a bit. They start sizzling quite audibly!


I've learned a harsh lesson from my super paper mario challenge... not to eat nothing but mushrooms for dinner. They aren't a very balanced meal on their own. I'm enjoying them with a bowl of eggy noodle soup.

***

I don't know why but these mushrooms are always just way better than button/chestnut/etc mushrooms to me. These tasted simple and fresh. I think I slightly prefer the oyster ones done this way... i think shiitake goes more as an earthy companion to a main dish, while oyster somehow makes a better kinda... meat substitute.
