Creamy Baked Oyster Mushrooms with Pork Chops or Chicken

Oyster Mushrooms are very mild, with a bit of a seafood flavour, oyster like in color and shape. Also known as Pearl Oyster or Tree Oyster Mushrooms, they are one of the most commonly cultivated mushrooms in the world.

Oyster mushrooms cook quickly in stir fry’s; and get silky when braised. The mushrooms and pork or chicken are both mild in flavour and pair beautifully.
