Pickled Matsutakes

Serves 4 as an appetizer

Pickled matsutakes can be used as a relish with almost any food.

    * 1 pound matsutakes, cut into 3/8-inch slices
    * 4 green onions, minced
    * 3 tablespoons dry sherry
    * 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    * 2 tablespoons sugar
    * 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
    * 1/2 teaspoon salt 


    Preheat an oven broiler and broil the mushrooms until brown. Combine all the other ingredients in a small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Cool. Place the mushooms in a glass or ceramic baking dish, pour the liquid over, and store in the refrigerator at least 1 day before serving.
