The “poor man's truffle” — smoky-dark perfume, dramatic looks. A variety-specific method — because each mushroom is its own ingredient, not a garnish category.

Method

Chef's notes
Mushroom law applies to every variety: dry them well, give them space, and salt at the end — salt early and they sweat instead of sear.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Refrigerate up to 3 days.
Freezing
Depends on the vegetable — roasted things reheat better than they freeze.
Reheating
Roasted vegetables re-crisp in a 200°C oven for 6–8 minutes; mashes loosen with a splash of warm milk over low heat.
Make ahead
Blanch or par-roast ahead, then finish with high heat just before serving.
