Incorporating medicinal mushrooms such as Maitake, shiitake, enoki, trumpet, oyster and more is a good way to boost the immune system!Mushrooms are high in protein so are a good meat substitute. They are a  delicious and nutritious food that can be useful in this trying time where we are all keeping distance and making every effort to maintain our health and boost our immune system! My Mushroom Zucchini Tart is just the ticket! A simple to prepare, delicious medley of mushrooms, shallots and zucchini, a couple of herbs and spices encased in a light puff pastry and baked to brown perfection! My Mushroom Zucchini Tart is further flavored with truffle butter, goat cheese and just a little bit of organic uncured bacon. To make the dish vegetarian just omit the bacon; both versions are fabulous!
