    There are so many delicious ways to use shiitake mushrooms! Here are a few recipe ideas to help you make the most of your 8oz:

    1. Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms: Simply sauté the mushrooms in olive oil or butter with garlic and herbs (like thyme or rosemary) until they’re golden. Serve as a side dish, or toss with pasta, rice, or grains.

    2. Shiitake Mushroom Stir-Fry: Create a flavorful stir-fry by combining shiitake mushrooms with your choice of vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas) and protein (chicken, beef, tofu, or shrimp) in a teriyaki or soy sauce-based sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.

    3. Shiitake Mushroom Risotto: Use the mushrooms to make a creamy risotto. Sauté them with onions and garlic, then slowly add arborio rice and broth, stirring until creamy. Finish with parmesan and fresh herbs.

    4. Mushroom Soup: Make a comforting shiitake mushroom soup by sautéing onions, garlic, and mushrooms, adding vegetable or chicken broth, and blending until smooth. Stir in cream or coconut milk for richness, and season with thyme and black pepper.

    5. Shiitake Pizza: Top your favorite pizza or flatbread with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, garlic, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like basil or arugula) after baking.

    6. Mushroom Tacos: Sauté shiitake mushrooms and mix with black beans and spices. Serve in corn tortillas topped with avocado, cilantro, and lime for fresh and tasty tacos.

    7. Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms: If you want to do something fun, remove the stems and make a stuffing with breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and spices. Bake them until golden and bubbly!

    Feel free to adjust any of these recipes to fit what you have on hand. Enjoy those delicious shiitakes!
