Keto Mushroom Cobbler. Whew dogie this savory cobbler is so good and a perfect accompaniment to a good steak dinner. The flavors will depend somewhat on the mushrooms you use but it is my opinion that porcinis should be part of the mix and they are readily available as dried and if you have the dried version Pistol River Porcini Mushrooms and a spice grinder you can make your own Pistol River Porcini Dust and I use both. Porcinis are very expensive but not if you buy them from the linked company located right here in Oregon. I would not recommend Olive Nation, available on Amazon, because they use B grade and you definitely want A grade mushrooms. Soooo, if you are going to do some of the recipes on this site you might as well break down and buy at least the mushrooms because I use both the powder and dried in many of my recipes and here are just a few of them. Cauliflower & Porcini Mushroom Risotto, Creamed Hungarian Mushrooms, Porcini Wine Cream, Vegetable Calzones, and there are more. You will just have to poke around to find them. Once you have used porcinis in one form or another you’ll ask yourself where have they been and why you didn’t know about them and you can start now by making keto mushroom cobbler.
I had a savory cobbler crust but for me, the crust sort of overwhelmed the delicacy of the mushrooms. Not that is wasn’t good-it was-but not the best it could be and now the recipe is much more simple and even better. I liked the name so I stuck with it and anyway, it is very like a cobbler.
