Mushrooms. “Hated” them too but now I’m not sure I even tasted them as a child, perhaps because they sure are not very pretty to look at (sorry for the mushroom bashing!). Now I know what I was missing… mushrooms taste good! Alas, I cannot get back those years of not eating one of the very unique and most flavorful foods. Who knew back then that they are one of the world’s best sources of umami! Parmesan cheese also is packed with umami, and when combined with farrow (a hearty grain with a nutty flavor) and mushrooms, this recipe is a true umami bomb.
