No! Not that kind of magic...The magical powers of this mushroom makes everything taste good, and by everything, we DO mean everything. Michelle Tam, who wrote the cookbook Nom Nom Paleo Let's Go! stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to share the magic and talk about how you too can enjoy wizardry in your kitchen. Basically, the Magic Mushroom Powder is Porcini Mushrooms that have been pulverized to a powder, mixed in with several different seasonings. The powder then works it's magic on chicken, stews and can even liven up roasted broccoli! Cast a magical spell in your kitchen, and see what sorcery you can whip up!
- 3 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
- 2 cups Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Equipment:
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Glass mixing bowls of various sizes
- Food processor or powerful blender (If you’re just making a small batch, get a cheap coffee grinder like this one.)
- Spoon
- Label paper (full-sheet)
- 12 Weck Mini Mold Jars (2.7 ounces)
- Parchment Paper
Dump your dried ’shrooms in the food processor and pulse a few times to chop them up uniformly. If the lid of your food processor isn’t on tight, a fine mist of mushroom dust will erupt from the crack, so check the seal before you continue blitzing.
Next, turn the processor on for 2 minutes or as long as it takes for the mushrooms to break down into a fine powder. (If you use a super-charged blender like a Vitamix, you’ll finish in less time.)
n a large bowl, combine the powdered mushrooms, salt……red pepper flakes, dried thyme……and freshly cracked black pepper.
Stir well to combine.
