Hen of the Woods Stroganoff (Wild mushroom recipe)

[Geri K]

We pick hen of the woods every Fall. This is a new recipe I came upon that I am going to try.

Makes about 8 servings

• 4 T olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 c. Hen of the Woods, packed
• 1 c. vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 c. half and half
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 2 T flour
• 2 T chopped chives or parsley
• cooked potatoes, pasta or egg noodles

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the garlic over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the packed mushrooms and cook, stirring often until the mushroom starts to brown.
2. Add the cream and broth, and allow it to reduce by half, stirring often. Add the salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, mix the flour and the sour cream together. Stir the sour cream into the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened.
4. Place sauce, the potatoes, potatoes or noodles, in a crock pot, mix well and set crock pot to low. Garnish with chive or parsley, serve with crusty toasted French bread and a green salad for a delicious wocznet/gretchen-hen-of-the-woods-mushrooms-a-foragers-delight/autumn lunch!
