MAGIC MUSHROOM POWDER

Makes 1¼ cups
1 ounce dried fporcini mushrooms
⅔ cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
DO THIS:

Pulse the dried mushrooms in a clean spice grinder until they’re finely ground. Transfer the mushroom powder to a bowl, and add the salt, red pepper flakes, thyme, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate.
Store the powder in an airtight container. It’ll keep for several months, but I bet you’ll run out well before then.

Use this powder in place of salt, and remember: a little goes a long way.
