Pine mushrooms


It's no secret that the Nordic food movement has had a profound effect on me, mostly aesthetically, as a lot of ingredients they use up there are unique to their terroir, I hope to one day taste the flavors and produce that they have become so important and famous for. 

This is a salad of raw and extremely aromatic pine mushrooms ( matsutake) also some of the smallest I have ever seen, dried and grated olives and mustard leaves and a sauce made from Japanese mustard and tarragon oil. Very simple and very delicious.
