Wild mushroom stew with spicy berbere sauce
This mushroom stew is prepared with wild mushrooms and peppers tomatoes and spicy Ethiopian berbere sauce. I
love mushroom recipes and cook them in all variations whenever I can.
Most of the time I am using the commercially available button mushrooms which are often the only variety on offer in these parts of the world. I am a passionate mushroom collector as well and whenever the picking season is at hand I try to get hold of some wild mushrooms to use in the kitchen.
Now the funny part is that we have had mushrooms growing in our garden for years and that they are actually edible. I made the following recipe with our garden mushrooms but if you don't have any wild- or garden mushrooms at hand you can easily replace them with commercially available kinds and you should get tasty stew as well.
