Matsutake Magic in 3 Delicious Ways

It is no dream… Matsutake are growing On the belly of the mountain – Haiku by Shigetaka There is something marvelous about the famous “pine mushroom,” the matsutake. Their distinctive spicy aroma and flavor are absolutely unique in the mushroom world. The exotic allure of wild mushrooms has inspired many poets across the centuries. No surprise, then, that the matsutake, so highly regarded in Japan, has inspired volumes of haiku. Equally inspired, David Arora, author of “Mushrooms Demystified,” described the …

Southeast Asian Spring Rolls

This “fresh” spring roll is a classic in both Vietnamese and Thai cuisines. Unlike other spring rolls, this light & lively version is not fried, but is wrapped in a thin, translucent sheet of rice paper. The herbaceaous filling, too, is very refreshing, yet hearty & satisfying. Our version is made with leftover grilled chicken and poached shrimp, but you can use virtually anything you want, including tofu or grilled veggies. Spring rolls are typically served with a sweet-savory-spicy dipping …

Quick Pickled Fiddleheads

Fiddleheads are one of our favorite wild spring foods.  They look cool, but taste even better. In case you’re unfamiliar with them, fiddleheads are the tightly coiled emerging shoots of certain edible ferns, the choicest of which are the ostrich fern (Matteucia struthiopteris), frequently referred to as the ‘Eastern Fiddlehead.’   While there are a number of other edible ferns, the Eastern fiddlehead is arguably the best tasting and probably the most widely available, growing wild across much of the …

Bamboo Rice Coconut Pudding

  Rice pudding is the very definition of ‘comfort food.’ It really doesn’t get any more basic than this.  The pudding itself is made of only 5 ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry. Our version was inspired by the Thai classic, Mango Sticky Rice, but rice pudding is a concept that is truly international and every culture has a version all its own. You don’t have to use bamboo rice, of course, but we really …

Grilled Flank Steak, Korean-style

Nearly everyone has heard of the famous Korean barbecue dish, bulgogi. While, in some respects, this recipe is not a faithful rendition of the Korean classic, it is definitely inspired by the traditional flavors of Asia.  We’ve used flank steak, a long, flat muscle from the abdominal area of the cow.  Flank steak is very flavorful, but has a tendency toward toughness.  But slice it thinly across the grain and marinate it for a few hours in a tasty mixture …

Fiddlin’ around with Fresh Fiddleheads

Fiddleheads are among the first wild delicacies to emerge each spring, slowly raising their tightly furled heads when the sun first begins to warm the soil of lowland forests, from the Great Lakes to the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Named for their resemblance to the carved end of a violin, fiddleheads have a deliciously intense flavor which has been compared to artichokes, green beans or asparagus, but which has a nutty, mossy quality uniquely its own. No other vegetable, cultivated …

Black Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese

Black lentils, like French Green Lentils (lentilles du Puys), differ from other “garden variety” lentils in several ways.  Black lentils retain their lens-like shape and firm pleasant texture when cooked, making them a good choice for salads. They’re much smaller, too – only about 1/8th-inch or so in diameter.  Black lentils cook very quickly, requiring only about 15 – 20 minutes to cook to a pleasant ‘al dente’ consistency. The natural deep ebony color of black lentils fades to an …

Morel Poppers

Practically everyone has heard of ‘poppers’, the tasty little cheese-filled peppers that can pack a wallop of heat. It’s a fact – they make great party food or appetizers and are as addictive as potato chips. Since fresh morel mushrooms are in season, we thought, “Why not try a little variation on on the “popper” theme using morels?” After all, they’re about the same size and shape as chile peppers – and they taste great when fried. Well, to make …

Ramp-age!

Spring is definitely here. For the past week, anyone who walks in the door here at Earthy Delights is immediately greeted by the heady aroma of fresh, just-picked ramps.  Ramps (or wild leeks, as they are also known) are a true harbinger of spring – often the first edible plant in the wild forager’s harvest.  Many years (including this year), wild ramp shoots can be found poking up through the last crust of winter’s melting snow. Right now, it’s early spring …
