Cumin mushroom entrée

Kitty’s recipe brings together the earthy, umami flavour of king oyster mushrooms and combines it with the tangy and unique taste of cumin. A delicious and unique entrée to complement any dish!

Serving: 1-2 serves

Ingredients:

• 1 king oyster mushroom (approx 120g)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch cumin
• 1 pinch red chilli powder
