This is not as much a formal recipe as it is a hodge podge of on-hand CSA ingredients. I find this to be a perfect use of the hot italian sausage, especially for those that might not otherwise be a fan of its spiciness. The hot Italian sausage adds a kick to the bland braise of the cabbage, and the potato does a wonderful job tying it all together.
This gargantuan fungus has been rumored to taste like lobster when sautéed in butter. I just had to give it a try to see if the rumors were true. The conclusion? You don’t have to like mushrooms or lobster to fall in love with this dish.
Bibimbap is a wonderful way to enjoy CSA ingredients of the season, as it’s very flexible depending on what’s in season. Sizzling rice topped with delicious combinations of meat and veggies, an egg and distinctly flavorful sauce in a stone hot pot (optional but recommended) is really something special. The only two pantry ingredients that you might need are Gochujang (available at Asian Markets or well-stocked supermarkets) and sesame oil, and you’ve got yourself a party!
