Recipe for Shiitake Greens

This is the very first meal that I made with my home grown shiitake.

I could not believe that I was at my own kitchen table. The combination of flavors was telling me this restaurant was a five star, but it was I who had done the cooking. It had to be that mushroom flavor coming trough.

Combined with the tangy, sweet crunch of the greens, my woodsy fungi went over perfect. Sauté with onions and there is not much that can go wrong.

4 cups turnip greens
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 yellow onion
2 tbl olive oil
salt and pepper

1. Warm olive oil in a skillet at medium heat.
2. Add onion (diced) and mushrooms (sliced) to the skillet. Cook until onions are translucent.
3. As the onions and mushrooms begin to brown slightly, add the greens on top. Lower heat and cook until greens tender but still have a little bit of crunch in the stem.
4. Sprinkle with soy sauce or salt and pepper to taste.

I like to serve this with an egg on a bed of rice. I like to eat this with chop sticks while watching the sun go down.
