4.5

(7)

This dish changes with the seasons, adapting to whatever wild mushrooms are in the market, but it's just as tasty with cultivated crimini. Chef Bradley Dickinson, who offers it as an appetizer at the restaurant, also suggests serving it as a main with orzo on the side or over a bed of wild and long-grain rice.
