Every now and then the
Omiya-Randen train terminus near my place hosts a small vegetable market in a train waggon! Local farmers from the surroundings come sell their vegetables there. The people are always very nice. Today I bought
Eda-mame and sweet potatoes, and was offered a mini-lunch consisting of a cup of
Miso soup and a rice ball, with a topping I've never tasted before. It turned out to be marinated japanese mountain pepper (
sanshō). Very strong, very tasty. I bought some and thought of this new starter dish.
Fry shiitake heads in a mix of butter & olive oil, both sides. Then top with
sanshō-
tapenade:
smash together black olives,
sanshō, very finely chopped garlic, and olive oil.
It would probably look better with chopped herbs on top, like parsley. Might taste even better too.
Or what about thyme or rosemary ?! I've got to try that...
