Prep time: 5-10 mins
Cook time: 15 - 30 mins (Cook grains separately)
Yields: 4 - 6 servings
Ingredients
- 20g Untamed Feast Wild Mushrooms
- 1 C water for rehydration
- 2 TBSP butter or olive oil, or a combination of both

- salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- Place mushrooms in a bowl and cover with water. When they are soft, chop them fine.

- Add wine to deglaze the pan (optional, but always a nice touch).
- Add soaking water, salt & pepper to taste, and simmer to reduce liquid.
- Stir them into wild rice, quinoa or other cooked grains.
