Banana Leaf Wrapped Merang Mushroom
Banana leaf wrapped merang mushroom is one of the simplest dishes. With a simple layer of seasoning from several pieces of ingredients then stirred and wrapped in banana leaves. Then cooked and grilled on the coals, well because I wanted to enjoy it quickly I immediately grilled it on the stove grill.
This dish is indeed one of the traditional ways of cooking by utilizing leaves as a way of cooking when in the garden. This aims to minimize the use of oil and pans in the garden, so it will be very easy for us to prepare with minimal equipment and materials. This emergency dish, as we like to call it, is often a delicious choice to enjoy with warm rice, and my mother usually makes it without spices using fresh mushrooms.
