dinner at my house

so i had a whole bunch of wild mushrooms at my house.

this is what i did with some of them:

i simmered the chicken of the woods in homemade (of course) vegetable stock and then tossed them in a pan for a light sauté with angel hair pasta and milkweed stems.

yes, milkweed stems.

some people will tell you they're bitter and you have to boil and rinse them, but MB tells me that if you pick them when they're tender, you needn't bother.

and MB is right.

you can use them just like asparagus.
