From the Test Kitchen

Spring is the season of mushrooms and for this tasty dish, we’re using a very special variety: the maitake. Also known as ‘hen of the woods,’ this gorgeous delicacy can be easily identified as its overlapping caps are arranged like the feathers of a bird. The name maitake is Japanese and translates to “dancing mushroom” because, wild, it is said to resemble the waving hands and rippling kimono sleeves of dancing girls. Whatever they remind you of, these mushrooms are delicious!
