I have one suggestion to make the medicinal value of these mushrooms more available. Mushrooms contain many complex polysaccharides which are difficult for the body to breakdown. Adding a 1/4 cup of rice wine or any other wine, and letting that simmer for 10-15 minutes will make the mushrooms more available to your body to get all the rich immune system enhancing activity that they are known for. Most of the alcohol from the wine will have evaporated if you don't want the alcohol.
This was so delicious. I added some white wine ( thanks for that health tip) and layered it thus...first layer, greens, second layer, cooked Farro, third layer a fried egg and dusted on top parmesan cheese and chives.
Hi Amy, A much delayed reply, but would you still use the butter in the recipe and at what stage would you add the rice wine?
Awesome and easy to make! My kids loved it and so do I.
I tried Amy LeMay’s suggestion of adding wine. I used 1/4c of a Chilean cab, because that’s all I had, and it was AMAZING!! Thanks Amy!
