Breath of the Wild #1: Mushroom Skewer

Ingredients: Any Mushroom

Description: "This simple mushroom-packed skewer has its colorful presentation to thank for its appeal."

Ah, mushrooms. You enduring menace. I went on a proper mission to find a good range of mushrooms to use for these recipes, and for this skewer ive settled upon shiitake. It's a very mushroomy looking mushroom, and its one of the least bland ones out there. I don't think this is going to qualify as a "colorful presentation" though.

But we don't have to go on this adventure alone, do we? I don't care if link has the palette of a paleo diet influencer or not, im going to make these with a nice marinade. I chose something I feel is a general classic. Olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, chilli flakes, sugar and garlic.

Splatting the mushrooms in there.

Oops! I accidentally dropped in some more mushrooms for a future recipe. But this box of mixed mushrooms has the most gigantic shiitake i've ever seen, so its going on this shiitake-only skewer. Oh, and i left these to marinate for a few hours.

Look at that beast! It's so hulking its threatening to break the wooden skewer. 

Now it can go in the grill pan, never you mind about those other ones they'll come up later.

***

Meaty and chewy. I definitely think shiitake was a good choice for grilling. The marinade did a lot, it was a very punchy flavour thanks to the garlic and chilli. Almost as good as a chicken skewer, but not quite.

 One guy. One pot. An indeterminable amount of fire.

I realise there is a second game in this series, I've played it even, but since thats around 200 recipes, I thought it would make sense to split it into 2 challenges, and do recipes in BOTW first, and then add in TOTK's unique recipes as a sequel challenge later.

I will be using TOTK's recipe book as a loose guide though, since BOTW didn't have one and recipes didn't seem to have a canonical order back then.
I'm also just going to do combined food recipes and not the individual cooked/frozen ingredients, elixirs and inedible garbage. Well, probably. Mostly. Maybe a little garbage, we'll see.

Alright, let's recover some hearts.
