Ingredients:
- Dried Lion's Mane mushrooms (approximately 1-2 ounces)- Vegetable or chicken broth (4-6 cups)
- Optional: additional vegetables, herbs, or seasonings of your choice
Instructions:
1. Start by rehydrating the dried Lion's Mane mushrooms. Follow the instructions on the packaging, but typically, you'll need to soak them in water for about 20-30 minutes until they become soft and pliable.
2. Once the mushrooms are rehydrated, drain and rinse them thoroughly
3. In a pot, bring the vegetable to a simmer. You can use store-bought broth or make your own from scratch.
4. Add the rehydrated Lion's Mane mushrooms to the simmering broth. If desired, you can also add additional vegetables, herbs, or seasonings to enhance the flavor. Common additions include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, or bay leaves.
5. Allow the broth to simmer for about 30-45 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together and the mushrooms are tender.
6. Once the broth is ready, strain it to remove any solids, such as mushroom pieces or vegetable remnants. This will result in a clear and flavorful broth, mushrooms can be kept and consumed along
7. Serve the Lion's Mane broth hot and enjoy its unique taste and potential health benefits.
Remember, this is a general guideline, and you can adjust the recipe to suit your preferences. It's always a good idea to consult a recipe or cooking resource for more specific instructions and variations.
The broth can be used instead of chicken broth in many recipes to add complexity and flavour to vegan dishes
