We are so lucky to have had such a bountiful foraging year this year! In particular, the Chanterelles and Chicken of the Woods were extraordinarily abundant. Unless we happen upon another mushroom after the first frost, this is likely our last one for a little while (but don’t despair…we have some Mushrooms that we Dehydrated and will cook later in the year). Alright…onto the actual food at hand!
We love Philly Cheesesteaks during Football Season…but we also like to push the envelope of what counts as a cheesesteak. So, we felt like replacing the meat of this classic sandwich with a wild mushroom was right up our alley! To make it happen, we sliced our delightfully orange mushroom along with some onions and the last of our bell peppers from the garden, and we sautéed them all together in some olive oil. Once they were ready, we melted some cheddar atop, and served on our hoagie rolls along with a side salad!
