## Tips

- The main element of this dish utilizes second-class mushrooms that are usually discarded by other restaurants, making it super sustainable. They are slightly battered, bruised, or discoloured but perfect for making purees.
- When roasting the mushrooms, cook them until they are really dark golden brown, almost dehydrated and withered in appearance, taking them even further than you might initially think.
