These mushrooms are not only delicious but also available year-round. Don’t worry; you can always substitute them with your local favorites.

Maitake Mushroom Toasts

Maitake mushrooms are a rich source of an antioxidant called glutathione, which helps regenerate the liver. This makes them an ideal choice for breakfast, especially if you’ve overindulged the night before.

Ingredients:

  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 500g maitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • Pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 4 slices of toasted sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions:

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté the shallot until it becomes slightly glazed.
  2. Add the mushrooms and smoked paprika. Continue cooking until the mushrooms release their water and it almost completely evaporates.
  3. Add the sherry vinegar and mix well.
  4. Spoon the mushrooms onto the toasted bread slices and sprinkle with parsley.

Oyster Mushroom Burritos

Oyster mushrooms are packed with iron, making them a great choice for a pre-workout snack. They improve blood flow to the muscles, enhancing their efficiency during exercise.
