Wild mushrooms are a pleasure to cook as they are delicate and lend newness to a mushroom dish. Sometimes I add in Button or Cremini mushrooms as well as Shiitake mushrooms although Shiitake lend a significantly distinct flavor. Here, simply sauté sliced mushrooms in butter and S&P. Add diced onion and soften. Add diced tomato…

Hunter’s Mushroom Linguini
This version of a Hunter’s sauce is heavy on mushrooms with a bit of bacon to lend a Smokey flavor. I used shiitake, porcini and baby portabella mushrooms. The smallest ones I left whole and slice the others -discarding the shiitake stem as it can be tough. I sautéed them down in a bit of…
Spaghetti & Meatballs

Sicilian Pork Ribs
Hail the pork rib. Slice the ribs apart. I use two racks for this recipe, because I shop at Costco. You can blanch them or not. I was originally taught to do so, and I recommend doing it even just once to see if you find a significant difference. In a large pot with enough…
