Chef Alex Burgos shared this delicious recipe with us. It's a mushroom broth that he makes at Los Danzantes restaurant in Oaxaca. And it’s very easy to prepare at home.
The ingredients he uses are Mexican, but he told us that we can use the ingredients we have in our local supermarket...and to enjoy!
1/4 kg tomatillos
5 pcs avocado leaf
4 pcs chili costeño or red chili.
20gr chepiche (Oaxacan herb use as a condiment)

50gr white onion
1 liter chicken stock
20gr seasonal mushrooms
50ml olive oil.
Salt and pepper to taste
Edible leaves

Herbs such as purslane.
Seasonal mushrooms
Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half.
In a frying pan with a little olive oil, fry the garlic cloves, onion, and tomatoes.
Add to the frying pan the tomatoes, half of the seasonal mushrooms, and the pieces of chili costeño or any hot red chili of your choice.
