Ingredients

150g shiitake
1 clove of garlic
130g walnuts
2 tsp paprika
80g roasted peppers in a jar
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Surdough bread (we took it from our friends Hoplageiss Bakery !)

Instructions

  1. Remove the stems from the shiitake and slice them.

  2. In a pot, cover them with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil and let the shiitake cook for 5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the mushrooms well. *The cooking water from the shiitake has a lot of flavour, don’t throw it away. Use it to add umami flavours in soups or sauces.

  3. Chop the garlic and the walnuts.

  4. In a blender, first blend the pepper with the spoonful of olive oil and the paprika. Then add the garlic, nuts and shiitake.

  5. If the mixture is difficult to blend, add some more olive oil.
