California Harvest Shiitake Tapenade in your specialty store.

Shiitake Tapenade

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 lg mushrooms -- chopped

1 tsp canola oil

1 tsp oriental sesame oil

1/8 cup onion -- chopped

1 1 " pc ginger -- minced

1 tbsp garlic -- minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp chives -- snipped

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp chile paste

 

Chop the shiitake mushrooms as finely as you can but not in a food

processor. Heat the oils, add the onion, ginger and garlic. Saute until

softened but not browned. Add the mushrooms and sherry. Stir and fry for

a good long time, until all the moisture from the mushrooms comes out

and then has been reabsorbed again. The mixture should look like very

fine chopped liver if that is any help. Mix in soy sauce, snipped

chives, salt, chile paste, lemon juice and rice wine vinegar. Mix very

well while on a low heat.

 

Note: It finally finishes up looking like a dense pate.

California Harvest Shiitake Tapenade. She saw something similar made on

TV and copied it down as best she could.
