Shiitake Skewers Recipes

SHIITAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the shiitake and thread them on bamboo skewers. Combine the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and chili paste and whisk to combine. Begin cooking by brushing the shiitake with the marinade and placing them on the grill. Grill to taste, approx 5-6 minutes.
• Begin cooking pasta, by adding to boiling water and simmering for approximately 8 minutes.
• Heat wok and fry the ginger in a little sesame oil for a minute. When fragrant, add the carrots and squash followed in 2-3 minutes by the pea shoots or snap peas. Turn the peas into the hot carrot squash mixture and remove from heat. Drain the pasta well and combine with the vegetable sauté, dressing with any extra marinade and soy sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

ROSEMARY SKEWERS OF SHIITAKE MUSHROOM, BROCCOLI AND GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and cool.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the garlic cloves until they are golden and soft. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• To make the skewers: Remove the leaves from the bottom 2/3 of the rosemary sprigs and reserve them for future use. Skewer a mushroom, broccoli floret and a roasted garlic clove onto each rosemary sprig. Put the completed skewers on a baking sheet, brush them with the marinade, and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the rosemary skewers over medium-high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Serve with a small wedge of Cambozola cheese.
