Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled or reduced!
Simply do even portions of lobster mushrooms to oil/butter to adjust. Optional: Add a pinch of MSG, this brings out the flavors of the lobster mushroom and makes everything taste more potent. Optional: In place of coconut oil, try using butter! This will give you a saltier result that is just as delicious. This oil will keep in the fridge for up to 3 month or for up to 3 years in the freezer (could be indefinitely, my 3-year-old lobster mushroom oil still has great flavor!) Use the cooked lobster mushrooms for pasta, over toast, or as a filling for tacos! (Scroll to the article above to see more suggestions)
