Brown Shimeji mushroom 150g
520017
Selected by Le Delas for their intense flavour and distinctive shape, these brown Shimeji mushrooms (also known as brown beech mushrooms) are a favourite among chefs looking for texture and character. Le Delas chose them for their exceptional firmness, which allows them to retain their crunch and shape even after quick or prolonged cooking. Visually, brown Shimeji mushrooms are distinguished by their beautifully speckled amber caps and cream-coloured stems. On the palate, they reveal woody notes and a more pronounced nutty flavour than the white variety. Le Delas' selection process ensures that professionals receive healthy, uniform clusters, allowing them to get the most out of the product in terms of both taste and appearance, which is particularly suited to minimalist and natural presentations. Culinary uses, preparation and storage Brown Shimeji mushrooms are extremely versatile and can be used in both traditional and more exotic dishes. ► Stir-frying: Sautéed in a wok or frying pan with oil, they develop forest floor aromas. They are an ideal accompaniment to red meat, game or roast veal. ► Broths and infusions: Their robust structure allows them to be poached in dashi broths or meat consommés without falling apart, adding an interesting texture and an attractive appearance. ► Sauce garnishes: Added whole to a morel sauce or mushroom cream, they add depth and contrasting texture. ► Preparation: Brown shimeji mushrooms should not be eaten raw in order to release all their flavours and eliminate their natural bitterness. To prepare them, simply slice off the base of the bunch. A simple brushing is enough to preserve their integrity. ► Storage: Store in the refrigerator between +2°C and +6°C in their original packaging to prevent them from drying out. They have an excellent shelf life, making them a reliable product for kitchen stock management. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
