What each ingredient does
- Fresh mushrooms
- Provide the bulk and earthy base; salt draws out their liquid, concentrating their flavor.
- Ready-made catsup
- Adds sweetness, acidity and tomato flavor that give the ketchup its character.
The step that matters
Letting the salted mushrooms sit. Salt draws water out of the mushrooms, and resting lets that liquid mix with the catsup so the flavors blend evenly rather than staying in pockets.
