HEDGEHOG DRIED MUSHROOM UK

Dried HEDGEHOG is a culinary ingredient prized by home cooks and chefs alike. Drying concentrates the flavour of HEDGEHOG and gives it a long shelf life, so a small handful goes a long way in the kitchen. It is a favourite for adding a savoury, umami richness to cooking.

This guide covers what dried HEDGEHOG is, how to cook with it, how to rehydrate it and how to store it for the long term.

What Dried HEDGEHOG Is

Dried HEDGEHOG is simply fresh HEDGEHOG that has had its moisture removed, which concentrates both the flavour and the aroma. As a member of the edible mushroom family, HEDGEHOG is valued in kitchens worldwide. A little HEDGEHOG goes a long way, since the flavour is far more intense than fresh.

Culinary Uses

Dried HEDGEHOG is a kitchen workhorse. It lifts risottos, pasta sauces, soups, stocks, stews and stir fries, adding a savoury depth that is hard to achieve any other way. A handful of HEDGEHOG transforms a simple stock into something restaurant worthy. It is a staple in kitchens across the world for good reason.

Flavour and Texture

HEDGEHOG is known for a rich, savoury, earthy flavour, and drying only intensifies it. Once rehydrated, HEDGEHOG takes on a pleasingly meaty, tender texture that holds up well in cooking. The umami hit HEDGEHOG provides is its signature.

How to Rehydrate and Cook

To rehydrate dried HEDGEHOG, cover it in warm water and leave it to soak for around twenty to thirty minutes until soft. Lift the pieces out, saving the flavourful soaking liquid to add back to your dish, then chop and cook as you would fresh HEDGEHOG. Frying the rehydrated HEDGEHOG in a little butter brings out its best.

Storage

Keep dried HEDGEHOG in an airtight container somewhere cool, dark and dry. A sealed jar in the store cupboard is perfect. There is no need to refrigerate dried HEDGEHOG while it remains dry.

How to Spot Quality

Good dried HEDGEHOG has a strong, clean aroma, an even colour and pieces that are fully dry without being dusty. Avoid any HEDGEHOG that smells musty or shows signs of moisture. Everything we stock is selected for culinary grade quality and carefully dried to preserve flavour.
