About

When wood ear mushrooms are marinated and wokseared, they develop a meaty, smoky flavor and bacon-like chewiness. Tumbled together with firm wine-red radicchio shreds and peppery arugula, they make a striking starter salad. Or serve as a side dish or bed for roast lamb or grilled beef or poultry.
