Parasol mushroom powder

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• some stalks of mushrooms (parasol)

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Use of the stems that are usually thrown away

Separate the caps and stems. Use the caps for other purposes. They’re simply too valuable for mushroom powder. If mushrooms are abundant, you can, of course, also make mushroom powder from them. The hollow stems are cut into strips and then dried for several hours in a dehydrator. They should no longer be bendable; they should break. Then you can grind them in a hammer mill. Any parts that don’t break will not be ground. Wait a while before opening the mill. The powder will become dusty. Then you should store the powder in a tightly sealed container. I use a tightly sealed spice shaker for this purpose. This also makes using the powder as a mushroom seasoning very convenient. You can also store it for longer periods. Bad odors, moisture, and insects have a detrimental effect on its shelf life. After a year, you’ll have new mushroom stems and new parasol powder. Use: Seasoning for sauces, roasts, minced meat, etc.
