Have you seen the very large and thick Asian Mushrooms at green grocer? They are called King Oyster Mushrooms in Melbourne where I live, but you might be familiar with other names such as ‘Eryngii’. King Oyster Mushrooms don’t have particular strong flavour, but the texture is unique. This is my favourite way to cook them. This dish is great for drinking.
