Have you tried the fresh Shiitake Mushrooms?  After the March cooking class (where we made Fresh, Hot Shiitake Mushroom Spread .... on freshly baked English Muffin Bread) and we demonstrated how to cook a bag of dried beans) .... the  following recipe has been shared by K & T Specialties, our Shiitake Mushroom growers:

1 (lb) bag dried 15 or 17 bean mix, soaked overnight

1 cup chopped Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms from Miller Farms Market (1/2 lb bag)

1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings and 1 can water

1 (12 oz) can V - 8 Juice

2 tsp Italian seasonings or to taste
