Wild Winter Mushrooms & Smoked Fish Broth

A bout of winter-time illness left me feeling somewhat de-energised & lethargic but, I managed to find the strength to make this soul nourishing, bone-warming broth to alleviate my symptoms. I used some of my recent wild mushroom finds and other delectable treats from my wild larder & some from the fridge too. Erring more on the side of a 'dashi broth' base, this dish packed some rich, deep 'umami' (the 5th taste), and included certain other ingredients which are great for fighting colds, restoring energy & boosting immunity.  Recipe: Smoked Fish Velvet Shank Jelly Ears Turkey Tail Onion Garlic Ginger Sugar Kelp Seaweed Powder Mushroom Powder Red Pepper 3 Cornered Garlic Truffle Salt 1 Miso Sachet Olive Oil 25g Unsalted Butter Finely chop the onion & fry gently in a saucepan for 5-6 minutes. Add the finely chopped garlic, ginger, strips of dried sugar kelp & fresh or dried Velvet Shank fungi & cook gently for 3-4 minute
