Hen of the Woods Mushroom Toast by Pamela Salzman

I have developed a healthy obsession with mushrooms—both the incredibly powerful medicinal types like reishi, and those that I roast or sauté for flavorful vegetarian meals. Elissa Goodman is one food expert who has helped encourage this practice, with her great knowledge and healing Inner Peace Tonic. My good friend Pamela Salzman, also a culinary talent, is another. Here she shares her Gjelina-inspired recipe for Hen of the Woods Mushroom Toasts, which I have started making frequently. With a bit of creme fraiche and truffle oil, it’s a decadent, fragrant and savory dish. XXJKE
