Crimini

I got these mushrooms because they looked yummy, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. Per Alice Waters in the Art of Simple Food, I just sautéed them in olive oil with a generous blast of smoked kosher salt. She suggested mixing a bit of crème fraiche at end, so I tossed in some of the okura I had left over from making tofu, and it was wonderful. The mushrooms had a good tooth, nice mushroomy taste balanced against a faint salty creamy umami.
