FUNGI

A staple on dinner tables in the Virgin Islands, this filling, earthy side dish goes well with fish or any stewed protein. In St. Thomas, you can find it accompanying tender stewed snapper or butter-braised conch, acting as a sponge for luscious sauces. Here, chef Julius Jackson, author of "My Modern Caribbean Kitchen" (Page Street Publishing, 2018) and native Virgin Islander, offers a simple, traditional version. This dish isn't an exact science; some people like it so thick it stands up on its own, while others prefer it thinner, with runny lines of butter. Find which way works best for you by tasting and tweaking as needed. Chilled leftover fungi can be cut into squares and pan-fried in a bit of oil until golden, making a great base for scrambled or poached eggs with bacon on the side.

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil over medium-high.
  • When water reaches a rolling boil, add okra and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook over medium-high until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Slowly and carefully, pour half the cornmeal into the water while whisking to prevent lumps. It will get very thick very quickly.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the remaining cornmeal and the butter, whisking vigorously to combine.
  • When smooth, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a little thinner, whisk additional water into the mixture. Serve hot.

1/3 cup sliced fresh or frozen okra
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into chunks

FISH AND FUNGI VIRGIN ISLANDS STYLE

Fish and Fungi (foon-ji) is considered to be the unofficial dish of the US Virgin Islands. This recipe dates back to the days of slavery. Danish Law (owners of the Virgin Islands) allowed each slave six quarts of Indian meal (cornmeal) and six salt herring per week. Occasionally, there were other foods thrown into the ration, like yam and other vegetables, but the mainstay of cornmeal and fish led the African women to the creative result of fish and fungi. I had this wonderful dish while working at Caneel Bay Resort, St. John, USVI several winters ago.

Steps:

  • Place fish with all ingredients into a saucepan and cook gently until fish is cooked, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Place frozen okra in boiling water. Cook until just barely tender.
  • In a medium size saucepan, bring 2½ cups water to a boil.
  • To make fungi that is free of lumps, mix about ¼ cup of the cornmeal with ¾ cup water in a separate small bowl. Then, add this mixture back into the larger pot of boiling water.
  • Let cornmeal cook for about a minute, then add the rest of the cornmeal into the pan in a slow steady stream, while stirring constantly.
  • Add hot cooked okra to cooked cornmeal. Stir well.
  • Then, stir in the butter, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Simmer for about 5 minutes more.

37 MUSHROOM RECIPES SO GOOD, THEY'RE MAGIC | BON …

From bonappetit.com
Author Joe Sevier
Published Mar 29, 2016
  • Chicken With Mushroom Purée and Swiss Chard. In this mushroom recipe, humble white buttons and chicken breasts become dinner party–worthy with the help of truffle oil, crème fraîche, shallots, and plenty of butter.
  • Creamy Mushroom Pasta. When all you want is a bowl of creamy pasta, adding a pile of golden brown mushrooms makes it feel almost virtuous. For the most robust flavor, use a variety of maitakes, meaty oyster mushrooms, and woodsy shiitakes.
  • Japanese Curry With Winter Squash and Mushrooms. There are countless ways to prepare homemade kare raisu, or Japanese curry rice, but the nonnegotiable ingredient is S&B Curry Powder, which gives the iconic dish its signature flavor.
  • Beef Stroganoff. In this riff on the classic, fish sauce replaces Worcestershire, and scallions replace fresh parsley. There are dozens of interpretations of this 1950s staple of Russian origin—so have fun.
  • Herbal Mushroom Hot Pot Broth. Hot pot is the ultimate one-pot meal, and this meatless base gets multiple doses of umami from dried shiitake mushrooms as well as fresh king oyster and portobello mushrooms.
  • Miso-Mushroom Risotto. No broth? No problem. A little bit of miso and dry white wine or sake make an almost instant stock out of six cups of water. View Recipe.
  • Yogurt-Marinated Mushrooms With Flatbread. Mushrooms grilled to crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside perfection meet a toasty naan-like flatbread in this recipe, which could work as either an appetizer or a meatless main.
  • Crispy Mushrooms With Creamy White Beans and Kale. If you’ve ever tried maitake mushrooms, you already know this, but they have an unbelievably rich flavor and aroma of piney forest floor and fresh fallen leaves (that’s a good thing).
  • Stovetop Mushroom Lasagna. Bring out the Parmesan and the mozzarella for this weeknight-friendly skillet lasagna layered with cheese—well, cheeses—garlic, shallots, fresh herbs, and sautéed mushrooms.
  • Crispy Mushroom Quesadillas. When cooked whole and left to brown, the mushrooms’ edges get lacy and crisp, while their interiors relax and tenderize. You’d almost think it was the work of an air fryer, but nope, all you need is a trusty skillet.
