Recipe ~ Lion’s Mane Mushroom with Miso and Honey

Something a little bit different on the journal today; a recipe with fresh Lion’s Mane mushroom!

The flavour of fresh Lion's Mane is savoury and meaty with a slightly sweet tone and once it's cooked its texture is often compared to seafood like crab or lobster. With its umami flavour Lion's Mane is a delicious addition to vegetarian or vegan dishes as a substitute for meat. 

This recipe is one we often whip up for a quick lunch. It’s bursting with flavour and so incredibly easy!
