Mushrooms on Ricotta Toast
I am loving the opportunities that the restrictions of COVID are offering us right now. I am also very keen to help small businesses, especially when they have had their livelihood threatened by the restaurant industry being decimated by the isolation rules. I am trying to buy take away at places in my neighborhood as often as possible and I am seeing lots of work through social media with ideas to assist businesses stay afloat with our help. We need to get on board where we can or there will literally be no restaurants to dine at once this thing is over!
SO...when I saw The Mushroom Guys on Instagram putting a call out I was there! This is a business that traditionally only supplies the restaurant industry. So of course they have been hit hard...and let's be honest, those mushrooms just keep growing! I was more than happy to go and buy some. This chance has never been on offer before and despite the long drive (in Perth distances!!) to pick them up, it was an outing...hahahaha and I had these amazing mushrooms later to play with! Watch out for a few more recipes starring this amazing produce! Thanks to the fun guys at The Mushroom Guys. (Yes that is a dad joke~ you're welcome!)
Go and get some if you are Perth based. Share them around, the carton sizes are very generous.
