Ingredients
- 1 cup dried mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon MSG (optional)
Instructions
- Fully dry mushrooms, then break them into pieces if needed.
- Grind the mushrooms using a coffee grinder (preferable), food processor, or blender until they are finely ground.
- If the mixture is chunky, sift larger pieces with a fine mesh sieve until you have a fine mushroom powder.
- Mix in thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and MSG (optional) until evenly blended.
Storage
- Pour mushroom seasoning into an airtight container or a spice jar and store in a cool, dry location for up to 12 months. Toss in an oxygen absorber or a moisture-absorbing silica packet.
Notes
- For a fine, restaurant-quality seasoning, sift the powder and regrind any larger bits.
- Avoid storing the seasoning in a plastic container. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids preserve flavor longer and don't absorb odors. If using a mason jar, a mason jar vacuum can be used to vacuum-seal the jar.
- If flavor fades over time, add a pinch of freshly ground dried mushrooms to revive it.
