Minty green puree made of string beans, peas and potatoes, aromatized with mint is a perfect summer side dish.
Pink oyster mushrooms that I grow in the bushes near the gardens are matching perfectly with the green puree.

Wow that was a beautiful dish. Where do you live that you can grow pink mushrooms? I live in northeast USA and we have lots of different mushrooms but I don’t know enough info to feel safe to eat.
Mushrooms are wonderful, I love them, gotta get busy with research 🧐

I live in Slovenia, some kinds of oyster mushrooms grow around here, I also don't pick many mushrooms because I'm never sure if safe. I know a few common ones.. That's why I decided to "plant" them in a straw.
I got the spores from a friend. 🙏💚😌

This puree looks amazing! I will give it a try myself! whowhoo! I was just thinking that I want to experiment more about purees and include more veggies in there. So this recipe comes in hand for my thoughts. Thanks for sharing, this is a great idea.

P.S. Both me and my husband are fans of mushrooms. And yours look very very tasty! 💛

You're very welcome! Being able to mix veggies in a puree gives us the opportunity to be creative, also maybe hide small amounts of other veggies kids usually don't want to see/eat! hehe

I love the look and taste of oysters. This makes me want to get some mint and make this with oyster mushrooms. I need to find oysters though. Looks like you have gotten fresh ones. How awesome is that.

Mint is so useful and aromatic, I love it. 😌🍀 But when cooking with it be careful not to add too much of it, as it's so aromatic it can quickly overtake the taste. Mint is also very decorative plant.
I grew oyster mushrooms using a straw. I got the spores from a friend. 💚😊
It's also possible to grow mushrooms if living in a small flat. Thanks to psychedelic mushrooms growers that figured out how to do it in small sterile boxes, you can grow almost any edible mushrooms you can imagine! You can simply order it on the internet...🤗😌💚
