Dad who uses the Grill to make dinner

I heard you can use mushrooms to improve flavor of foods? Do you know anything about how, or which mushrooms? How do you use/prepare them as a seasoning?

Umami bomb your grill and impress your family
by: Erin

Hi Jimmy,

Great question!

The top umami (mouth watering flavor) mushrooms are:

-porcini
-shiitake
-oyster
-maitake

Dried mushrooms have the most umami, and cooked mushrooms have more umami than raw.

But anyone familiar with me knows I teach "always cook your mushrooms".

In my household, we use NomNomPaleo.com's Magic Mushroom Powder (no psychedelic mushrooms in this one).

We use it on everything that would normally call for salt: Soups, grilled/smoked meats, sauces, with cooked veggies, etc.

It's a staple in my kitchen.

She gives you the recipe to DIY on her website, or you can order it on her site, from Amazon, or Whole Foods.

You can easily find dried porcinis and other gourmet mushrooms at Natural Grocers, a specialty health food store, or even online.

You can umami bomb everything: your meat, veggies and you can layer sautéed mushrooms with magic mushroom powder on your meat (check my website for the proper way to cook gourmet mushrooms for optimal nutrition, flavor and texture).

You can use her recipe for one version, and get creative with your own versions of the mushroom powder using different umami dried mushrooms and aromatics.

Can't wait to hear the success of your upleveled food, Jimmy!
