Dang I've been busy lately, besides making the chipotle sauce I also
made some Magic Mushroom Powder.
It was great on the chicken I grilled last night.

Magic Mushroom Powder

spices

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2/3 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Pulse the dried mushrooms in a clean spice grinder until they’re
finely ground.
Transfer the mushroom powder to a bowl, and add the salt, red pepper
flakes, thyme, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to incorporate. Store the powder in an airtight
container.
It’ll keep for several months, but I bet you’ll run out well before
then.

This spice blend is truly magical- and one of my most highly
sought-after secrets.
If fish sauce is liquid umami in a bottle, this stuff is powdered
umami in a jar, and an indispensable tool in your kitchen arsenal.
Despairing about not having enough time to prepare a meal?
Just sprinkle some of this flavorful dust on anything you cook, and
bask in the admiring gazes of your dinner guests. By the way, I know
this goes without saying, but don’t skimp out and use some cheapo
blend of dried mushrooms. Dried porcini mushrooms have an intense
flavor and aroma that you won’t want to dilute.

I ran across a recipe recently that called for powdered Shiitake. Why
didn't *I* think of this? :-) I can see using powdered mushrooms in a
lot of stuff that I wouldn't have considered before.

It's not a good prctice to grind dried 'shrooms, they containa a lot
of schmutz... when rehydrating it's smart to drain off the juices
while being careful to retain the schmutzic water

I've made something similar. Used up the last bits of mostly gone
packages of dried mushrooms - the powder is a great addition to sauces
and gravies. Hubby loves mushrooms, so the more mushroom flavor the
better has far as he's concerned.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to make more.

Sounds interesting. Where do you likely find dried mushrooms in the
grocery? With spices? I've never bought them.

Aisle 3

Kidding aside, I buy them at the Asian market and they have half of
one whole side of an aisle lined with dried mushrooms.

Ask at the customer service desk at your grocery store. If they have
dried mushrooms, they'll tell you. I doubt they'd be in with the ground
spices. They'll be dried mushrooms in cellophane bags. koko pulsed the
dried mushrooms herself.

I bought mine in a jar in the regular old spice section of Target. Store
brand, so they can't be all that uncommon to find elsewhere. I'm not sure
why I bought them, since I hate mushrooms, but it seemed like a good idea
at the time. They're still up in my cupboard unused.

I'll say it again. Try a local Health food store!

I bought both dried portabello and shiitake mushrooms at mine.

I don't shop at health food stores (HFS), full time. I can find
better deals elsewhere. Walmart sells Far East Tabbouleh mix for a
dollar less than my health food store. Blue Diamond Almond milk is
cheaper at my local sprmkt. Still, lotta great deals at HFSs. An
itty-bitty container of McCormick's ground sage works out to about
$30/oz. I can buy bulk grnd sage fer under $.90/oz at my HFS. I WILL
take that $29 savings.

The do tend to be pricey. I was in the HFS in a nearby mall a couple
years ago and they had bags of rolls for sale .... $5.99 for 6 rolls.
The were Ace Bakery rolls, and my bet is that they were freshly baked at
in store bakery at the Zehr's grocery store across the road. Zehrs was
selling the same thing for 50 cents apiece.

I cannot even imagine a gated community without some old geezers
living in it and they not being able to buy vitamin supplements.
Could it be that you jes do not know where the HFS are? Walmart run
everyone out? What are you calling "nearby"?

My closest HFS is 10 miles away (where I live, virtually everything is
10 miles away). We have 5 HFS within 20 miles.

I'm calling "nearby" a 20-30 mile radius. Of course you can buy
vitamins and supplements at any drug store. They aren't "health food
stores". They certainly don't sell dried porcini, portabello or shitake
mushrooms. The grocery store does, though.

Dried mushrooms are filthy, they first need to be rehydrated and the
liquid poured off carefully to hold back the the horse doodoo
component. Mushroom compost in the US has been sterilized but still
not very appetizing to realize it's been through the horse...
composted horse manure is the growing medium for mushrooms and it's
that crud stuck to the stems of fresh mushrooms. Some of the most
flavorful dried mushrooms are the wild specimens from other countries,
like eastern Europe and China. I don't recommend powdering any dried
mushrooms.

Mushrooms add a nice umami to gravy. If you have a coffee mill,
powder them in that (clean it with a slice of bread).

Does the bread get gummy? I run rice through my spice mill to clean

I usually use a damp paper towel and that works for me, but I keep
seeing the bread mentioned. I like your rice idea better.

other place sell organic everything.

Ah! You're right. You can buy organic stuff everywhere these days, and
vitamins and supplements of all kinds, too. Health food stores scream
1970's to me.

No, the bread just turns to crumbs leaving the container rubbed clean.

Costco carries a large plastic jar of dried shitake mushrooms. It's
down around the potatoes, onions and garlic area.

We have a couple of them nearby and that's not counting Whole Foods.
They seem to be doing well, especially when things like gluten free
are happening.

Italians and Scandinavians often dry mushrooms too. You might find
dried mushrooms in their food outlets. I get mine from my son (he and
his wife pick and dry many different sorts).

Thank goodness for the 1970's then. I've got a killer health food store
only 1/3 mile from my house. They rule for selling things that you can't
find elsewhere. A giant bulk spice/herb section, bulk grains of all
kinds....things that no other store sells. Plus all the organic
*anything* that you might want to try. Vegetarian foods, vegan foods,
all the weirdo alt.foods that you can possibly think of.

In the back they also feature astrology readings, tarot card readings,
Ed the chiropractor, massages, alt.life.in.other.dimensions, psychics,
ehehh It's spacy but it rules.

We've got enough hippies left to support numerous alternative markets.

The queen of them all is the People's Food Coop:

<http://peoplesfood.coop/>

I like this one (it has parking):

<http://www.arborfarms.com>

This one probably counts. I get my takeout sushi here, and it
smells like a health food sto

Google found several others that I've never been to. Plus, we've
got TWO Whole Foods.

I can buy dried shitake at the grocery store in blister packs, found
in the vegetable section... but I have to go to Rainbow if I want
dried porcini. Trader Joe's sells blister packs of "mixed wild
mushrooms", which is my favorite.

Around here if you want to see loads of bling on the Junior League and
entrepreneur wives, you go to what you are calling the health food
store. Commoners go to Whole Food. The bling ladies are shopping for
the fresh cut meat from local named ranches. Extra cache at the
dinner table if you can name the ranch and farm your food comes from.
More points if you are on a first name basis with the grower of your
food.
