Keto Mushroom Ragout

Keto Mushroom RagoutKeto Mushroom RagoutKeto Mushroom Ragout. When I was a little girl growing up in Ohio, and maybe 7 or 8 years old, I was out playing in the yard and literally, over night, there were about 8 or 9 puffballs all within close proximity of each other.  I ran in the house and got my mom to show them to her. Well, she picked one with a diameter of about 6 inches, took it into the kitchen, sliced it in ½” pieces and fried it in butter. OMG it was delicious.  I had two younger brothers and when they found the puffballs they kicked them to smithereens like all goofy little boys would do (Think footballs). My mom was angry and really what could she do? It was the first and only time they ever came up and I feel lucky that at least once, I got to eat a puffball.  Besides their general appearance, they are called puffballs because of the clouds of spores that “puff” out when they burst open or when ready, are hit with the impact of falling rain.

Alas, there are no puffballs in this keto mushroom ragout; I just thought you might be interested in the story. However, if you are ever lucky enough to find a puff ball, as Andrew Zimmern would say…eat it.
