Hello,
I am a bit behind in my substack newsletters-apologies I have had a little holiday since last writing.
My parents and Aunty visited. My Aunty lives in the states and my parents in Western Australia.
We shared lots of laughs, they sang a lot and I took them out and showed them the magnificence, of the surrounding areas of where I live and of course we shared a lot of very good vegan food.
Now the holiday is over its back to sharing recipes with you.
I have a simple one here this week.
Mushroom powder. It is a must have pantry item. A few teaspoons adds extra flavour to a whole array of recipes. Next week I will share a goulash recipe which you can use the mushroom powder in. I put it in soups, stews, with stir fry, in salad dressings. In anything really - it also adds vitamin B into your diet. Next week over on my blog I will post a recipe for goulash using this mushroom powder. Be sure to be signed up to my newsletter so you don’t miss the recipe. Sign up here.
You can use whatever dried mushrooms you can find.
Mushroom Powder
2 cup dried mushrooms, i used wild mushrooms, porchini and shitake
1 tsp salt
I didn’t use the follow but you can if you wish
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried carrot powder
Grind the mushrooms in a food processor or spice grinder until you have a fine powder.
Decant into an airtight glass jar and fold through the salt. Fold through the other ingredients if using.
Have a fabulous week and don’t forget to watch me over on youtube.

I just blend kosher or pink salt with the dried dehydrated mushrooms. About 50/50. You can also freeze the dried food before grinding…this can help make a finer powder. Or sift out any chunks if you want a fiber texture. I love adding in some dried herbs like crumbled thyme into the mixture for a pleasing look. I have made so many fruit and veggie powders. Very addicting but easy to give away. Here’s some I remember, basil-tomato, peach-basil, chive, nasturtium, lemon-rose, blackberry-thyme, lovage, quince, nettle…..
Great idea, thank you! I made some mushroom powder with lion's mane because I did not want them to go to waste. I was going to make some mushroom salt (love it with egg dishes) but I think I'll keep the powder handy for the dishes you mentioned.....goulash? I'm a fan!
