Matsutake mushrooms are cooked in many different ways. Includes sukiyaki, tempura, matsutake rice, and dobin mushi. Matsutake mushrooms are known in Japan as the 'King of Mushrooms'. Tasting them for ourselves while touring our partners spectacular mushroom far proved to be a sensational experience! According to the internet, matsutake mushrooms can only be found in the autumn, and only near a few select tree species, notably red pine. They form a symbiotic relationship with the tree's roots, and interestingly, never grow in the same spot more than one time. So once you pick that mushroom, you're in effect changing the course of mushroom history.
So now that you've got your matsutakes what do you do with them? The internet wasn't too helpful with recipes, and most of the ones I did find were wildly complex, like putting them in stews and adding them to 6 course meals, etc. Eventually I found a simple recipe that instructed me to fry them with a bit of salt, pepper and parsley.
Did you know the Japanese prize Matsutake as an aphrodisiac? Begin as white in color and develop pale brown to yellow brown tones as they mature. A unique taste and flavor is owed to the rare conditions under which it grows - under the base of pine trees between 20 to 60 years old and never in the same place twice. Their magnificent spicy-aroma, similar to a sweet cinnamon gives flavor enhancement to wild mushrooms dishes and make great stuffed mushrooms. They are high in protein, low in fat and rich in vitamins B1, B2, and D. They have amazing nutritional benefits with respect to cholesterol, digestion, stomach function and good health.
