I love mushrooms. In whatever way I can eat them, they are just so umami satisfying. If you are a vegetarian, you will remember the slogan from years ago about mushrooms being meat for vegetarians, and I totally get this. They are a hearty bite, with texture and mouth feel that just give you the feeling you ate something meaty and filling. There...mushroom love explained. These are perfect for a starter to pass around at your next dinner party. Pretty and you could get very pedantic and only use the same size mushie to get a real Instagram feel...if you want to.
I am pretty sure you will love this dish. Happy Tummies.
