About

This very nice idea - worked out with my Japanese friend, Miho - uses one of the prettiest cultivated mushrooms, the enoki. The recipe is very simple and can be made anywhere because of the general availability of the ingredients.

Ingredients

4 x 100 g packets enoki mushrooms, divided into 8 bunches
8 thick slices parma ham (or smoked salmon)

Method

Trim the base of the tight little mushroom bunches.

Wrap around each bunch a slice of Parma ham (or smoked salmon), and fix with a wooden cocktail stick. Sprinkle the enoki with a little salt and abundant pepper, followed by the olive oil and lime juice, and serve.
