I’ve been wanting to get some star anies for the rare recipe, that needs a little bit of it. But I found I couldn’t buy a small amount. So now I have a pint of it. Which means I have more than I can use in a reasonable amount of time before it goes stale.
I figured I might try to make some kind of beverage and maybe some soft candy. Any tested recipes you can recommend?
Also, the store had these $0.99 cans of cooked dried peas. Ingredients are dried peas, water and iodized salt. I’m not quite sure what to expect when I open this can. I’m picturing somebody forgot to blend the split peas soup. Do you have any ideas on how to use this?
I love this stuff. We make huge batches to keep all year. Haven’t used the serious eats recipe
I ground up dried lobster and porcini mushrooms into powder and used mostly pasilla, guajillo, and a few chipotle dried peppers. Imo it’s way better than store bought. Would love to know your recipe!
We use this one from The Woks of Life. Which does have any lobster or mushrooms. Our last batch used a hotter chili pepper and was almost too spicy. That’s kind of how it goes when you can’t read the labels on the dried peppers. Need to take better notes of branda
*lobster mushrooms, please don’t think I put actual lobster in there, I’m not made of money 😂
I’m lucky to live near a specialty market that sells a variety of dried mushrooms and peppers in bulk so you only have to buy what you need, but I can’t overstate how much mushroom powder enhances the flavor. Thanks for the recipe share!!
that sounds amazing my kroger started limiting online orders to 7 habaneros and the only mushrooms are cremini and portobello
Fortunately dried peppers and dried mushrooms are also really easy to buy online!
I’m on a search for dried mushrooms at the two Asian grocery stores by my house. I’ve never had them but love mushrooms. Good idea to just have them ready
I put the dried mushrooms in a coffee grinder to turn them into powder for this. Other times, you can let them sit in warm water for a couple minutes and throw them in soups, or really any dish you want mushrooms in (which is all of them)
I need to get another coffee grinder for spices, herbs and now mushrooms. I love mushrooms in dishes so soaking and throwing them and their liquid in dishes is the plan.
