In honor of National Mushroom Day, we are sharing the recipe for one of our most requested recipes of all time -- Chef Nikki’s Magic Mushrooms, aka the best mushroom ragout you’ll ever have.
Magic isn’t a term we throw around loosely, but this recipe lives up to its name, both in taste and nutritional value. Mushrooms impart a very specific savory taste referred to as umami. This hearty and earthy flavor will have you coming back to this recipe time and time again.
Mushrooms are one of the few natural food sources of Vitamin D and are also loaded with the B vitamins thiamin, riboflavin and niacin, which are crucial for turning food into energy.
