Whilst I am delighted by the favourable calorie value of closed cup mushrooms, I am fed up eating them raw in salads! Can anyone please recommend a way of cooking them to treat like a vegetable? (Just love them fried, but won't go down that path. ...)
Many thanks x
Try mushroom stroganoff, i'm sure there is a low cal recipe out there if you google it. all the best. Jp.
Thanks! Will do.
Just thinking about what mum does, I have made it myself once - dry fry or use minimal oil to cook your mushrooms, make a sauce separately by mixing a pot of low fat crème fraiche with smoked paprika and season, mix the two together, wallah - mushroom stroganoff or some kind of substitute. enjoy. Jp.
Wow, this sounds fantastic! Thank you do much for finding the time to reply - it's much appreciated. Good luck in your journey.
Grill them with some tomatoes and have as a side with scrambled eggs, toast and avocado. Easy supper.
Sounds lovely - thanks for replying. Will certainly try this!
Use good oils if you want to fry them, coconut (you can get it without the taste) or olive oil but don't use to much of it.
Hi George 56 here. I'm keen on mushrooms and onions with garlic & season to taste. Have a stir-fry & add bean sprouts. The large mushrooms can be stuffed with any Healthy filling. Enjoy. G
Thanks, George56, for taking the time to help me out! Will try these out. Looking forward to reading of your continuing progress - keep up the good work!
If you ever get the large field mushrooms they make a great mini pizza base! Bake with tomatoes, herbs and a little melted cheese, I like crumbled feta 😀
Sounds great - many thanks for sharing!
I buy the large field mushrooms, remove and chop the stalks, dry/lightly fry together with chopped garlic, remove from pan, then lightly fry the mushroom caps. (You can, of course, do all this together in one pan, but I prefer to do it separately). Then pile the garlic/stalks onto the mushroom caps and top with a teaspoon of low fat cheese (phili or similar). Put under grill or in the oven until just melted. Delicious and very few calories. You can eat this on its own/with salad/accompaniment to meat dish. Very versatile. Happy eating!
Wow, this sounds lovely! Many thanks for sharing!
that sounds lovely
Hi Hairflair here. mushrooms added to a stir fry ideal .cheeky when added to a creamy sauce on a jacket potato.tossed with tomatoso in Lea and perrin sauce cooked. and put onto a slice of toast.or added too scrambled eggs.Sue.
They sound great! Thank you for your post and best wishes,too.
another good idea from my slimming world days which btw I still take on a lit of what they advocate was to use the lg portabella mushroom to put a low fat burger in I make mine with low fat mince onion and an egg all mixed together I won a burger mould in a raffle once there, there are shop versions you can get from Iceland they do a lovely slimming world burger.
What fab idea - certainly going to pursue this! Many thanks.
I too am a big mushroom fan actually had them for breakfast
I use fry light to cook mine in another SW fall back😀I put them in a wholemeal pitta with some spinach and slices of tom.
Too many to list! Mushrooms make a great curry (just cook with a nice pataks curry paste, lime and chopped tomatoes), fried with garlic and served on toast with a bit of rocket, or fry with onions, garlic and passata and serve with pasta. Cook them with onions, sour cream and a dash of nutmeg to serve with pasta. I have a nice recipe with sliced mushrooms topped with cheesy mash, baked in an oven for 30 mins - it's around 400 calories a portion.
Thanks!!!
