Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Clean the king oyster mushrooms and slice them into thick pieces. Peel and chop the chestnuts. Peel and dice the persimmon. If using dried gigantes beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced king oyster mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Chestnuts

    Add the minced garlic and chopped chestnuts to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the chestnuts are slightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Combine with Gigantes Beans and Season

    Stir in the cooked gigantes beans and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add Persimmon and Finish

    Gently fold in the diced persimmon and drizzle with lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
