Chef Derek has generously shared some of his recipes this week. The first uses a variety of mushrooms from Possum Bottom Farms, and the second, Brussels sprouts from Fall Creek Farms. Thanks Derek!
Sautéed mixed mushrooms:
Use a desired mix of about 3 oz mushrooms per serving.
Trim stems and clean any visible dirt from mushrooms.
Heat a skillet on medium heat, add some oil to the pan, and sauté mushrooms until cooked through and caramelized. Finish with salt and pepper, a cube of butter, and fresh herbs.
Crispy Brussels sprouts:
Trim the ends of Brussels (use about 4 oz per serving) and cut in half lengthwise
Fry in deep fryer at 300 degrees for 2-3 minutes depending on size
Drain oil and transfer to mixing bowl
Toss with salt and pepper, grated cotija or Parmesan cheese (or use Gruetli once available this summer)
Serve with malt aioli
Malt Aioli

- 2 tablespoons oil (canola, olive, or a combination)
- 1 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Simmer garlic over low heat until slightly browned but soft.
In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
Place mayo mixture in processor with roasted garlic and blend slowly adding roasted garlic oil until emulsified.
You will never find dirt on Possum Bottom Farms mushrooms. All of our mushrooms are farmed using wood substrates in near sterile conditions. There is no dirt used anywhere in the growing process of any of our mushrooms. In fact, our mushrooms are so clean you don’t need to wash them before use.
