The smell of Spring fills the air as tables fill the once empty parking lot. The farmers’ market is full of hubbub as each vendor arranges their offerings, making trips back and forth from their vehicles. It is opening day and the Farmer’s Market is truly a magical place, filled with people who all seek the same thing, casting aside differences and coming together under the tin roof, as a light rain falls on and off throughout opening day. 

There is a common misconception on the best way to sauté your mushrooms. All too often the frying pan is warmed to medium heat, the fat source being used is added prior to the mushrooms and lastly the mushrooms are added. Although this is often the approach for sautéing, for mushrooms there is a better way to access more flavor with the best texture.

Enjoy this take on hotpot – with lots of creamy mushrooms and lentils, and that famous topping of golden potatoes.

These beautiful skewers will make any mushroom skeptic turn their heads.
