Dinner: 039	Sichuan Mushrooms with New Zealand Spinach over Rice
Klaus Stories of Members The Books Community Supported Agriculture Dinner	Dinner This mushroom and vegetable dish is easy to prepare and exciting to enjoy.	Served New Zealand spinach has slightly thicker leaves than regular spinach and has a richer innate salty taste that complements that of the mushroom. The Sichuan (Szechuan) pepper provides a counterpoint making this dish very refreshing.
