Spice up Thanksgiving with seasonal bounty
 Del Norte Triplicate/Bryant Anderson With mushrooms aplenty in the forests of Del Norte County, now is the time to forage and think about how to use this bountiful harvest. Fresh mushrooms don’t last a long time, so the chefs at the Requa Inn prepared a conserva to preserve them for about a month.
Thomas Wortman and Paul Hess gathered chanterelles from an undisclosed location. They made an oil and herb marinade to cook the mushrooms.
“A conserva is a way to preserve mushrooms instead of drying,” Hess said. “It will give them the same texture and flavor as if you had just pulled them out of the fridge.”
