Ingredientes

- 2 oz dried Chanterelle mushrooms
- A package of clean alfalfa, the sort used for food for hamsters, rabbits and other small varmints.
- 2 Tbs salt
- 1 qt water
- 1 cup of dried seaweed. Toasted nori sheets used for sushi are just fine and easy to get in most markets.
- 1/2 cup of walnuts
- walnut, hazelnut, or olive oil
- 1/2 Tbs of lemon juice
- You'll have to eyeball this to get the right proportion of smoothness. I added in about 1/4 cup of oil
