the mushroom flavor you get in the pearl and phoenix varieties with
a little more fruity/creaminess. The stems are thicker than the caps
and they require a little longer cooking, but they’re also very
good. No need to discard them! Because of the creamy texture and
flavor, the yellow oyster mushrooms is very good with risotto or
sauteed and served over gnocchi or ravioli. |
