No Noodles Needed

A delicious dinner of Maitake Mushrooms and "Green "Meatballs." Maitake, Grifola frondosa, is one of my favorite edible healing mushrooms.
Green Meatballs- organic, grass fed local beef, kale, parsley, garlic, parmesan, onions, shredded carrots.
 Maitake.

Simmering meatballs in tomato sauce, paste and fresh tomatoes from the garden. Lots of Basil, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano...





Maitake simmering in cream, ready to serve.



 Green- enhanced meatballs served over Maitake in cream. Everyone in the family was happily satisfied.
