MUSHROOMS What to do with them!

[lucigret]

Inspired by Lytham and BridgeGirl ’s 30 Plant post, I went to a local Greengrocers yesterday to look for something different. One of the things I walked out with was a punnet of ‘fancy’ mushrooms. Having got them home , I’m not sure what to do with them.

I’m hoping you’re going to inspire me with some tasty suggestions 😁

I don't know what to do with them either but I'm jealous. I've never seen a mixed pack like that and it's a bit extravagant to but several different types just for me - and I haven't seen some of those.

[lucigret in reply to BridgeGirl]

Well that’s just not helpful BG! 😂I’m sorry to make you jealous. I’m hopeless with the names of the mushrooms.

I think you should allow yourself a little extravagance 😁

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to lucigret]

If I saw a pack like that, I would be very tempted

This looks good, really making the most of the mushrooms goodfood.com.au/recipes/mix...

[lucigret in reply to BridgeGirl]

That does look nice and would go very well with my spare rib of Pork on Sunday I think.

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to lucigret]

I'm sure it would

Mushroom and cauliflower risotto sounds good 😊 and how could I have forgotten the mushroom off!

[Hidden]

I have never seen a pack of mushrooms like that they do look good. 😊

[lucigret in reply to Hidden]

They do look good, with all the recipes Moreless has given me links to, I think I’m going to need more punnets 😁

Oooh nice mushrooms ! Far too posh for soup!! x lol

[lucigret in reply to Lytham]

So am I pushing my luck saying 5 plants 😜

[Hidden in reply to lucigret]

I like the sound of mushrooms stroganoff. 😊

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Hidden]

Yes, that's a good one, Caroline

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to lucigret]

Ha ha ! Nice try Chick ! You'll have The Boss BridgeGirl after you! x lol

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Lytham]

What's that? Double counting? Quintuple counting?!!!!!

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to BridgeGirl]

LOL ! I'm a total "Grass"! x

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Lytham]

And there's me saying lucigret had an honest face

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to BridgeGirl]

Ha ha ! She fooled you! x lol

[lucigret]

That would be no then Lytham and BridgeGirl 😂🤣

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to lucigret]

You got it!!! 😆

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to lucigret]

LOL ! x

Wow, they look amazing! I love putting fancy mushrooms in a risotto, green Thai curry, stir fry. Or just frying a couple to add as a garnish to mushroom soup. I love mushrooms. 😅

[lucigret in reply to Greendream123]

Risotto is sounding good 😊

[Northlondongirl]

Nothing too fancy. Do something simple to show the flavour of the mushrooms- I don't know what exactly but think simple is best 😉

[Hidden]

The vegetarian society have a superb ocean pie recipe. It uses different flavour and texture mushrooms. Also mushroom swarama is lovely too. When I made it I didn't bother with the kebab skewers, because the mushrooms kept falling off. I just put the mushrooms onion and marinade on a low heat on a baking tray ad put some foil over the top to stop them burning. Hope you find a good set of repcies.

There’s a really good mushroom and chestnut hot pot recipe in 800 cal book, we have it with green beans and cabbage. They do look lovely x

[lucigret]

So here is my take on creamy mushrooms. Have to say Hubby and I prefer closed cup.

These fancy mushrooms had a different texture and the flavour was very mild.

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to lucigret]

Well, they look lovely but sorry to hear the taste didn't measure up so well.

My first choice for everyday mushrooms is chestnut as I find they have a bit more flavour

[lucigret in reply to BridgeGirl]

Never mind, at least we tried them, nothing ventured nothing gained. Yes they do have a stronger taste, I haven’t had any for a while.

[Greendream123]

Oh that's a shame, hopefully they at least brought interesting textures.

[lucigret in reply to Greendream123]

The texture was different. Some seemed a bit chewy, not what I expected!

[Greendream123 in reply to lucigret]

I love the different textures, King Oyster are probably my favourite (they're not as mild either) but haven't had them in ages!

[sminka17 10 kg]

I love them, because they remind me of where i come from (Slovakia). I only make soup out of them though ☺️

[lucigret in reply to sminka17]

You’re a long way from home 😊. I think mushrooms grow in abundance in Slovakia, I see there is a very meaty one, Dubak.

Maybe I should get another couple of pack and turn them into soup, I do like a mushroom soup 😊

[sminka17 10 kg in reply to lucigret]

Yes, that's right. We went mushrooms picking every year with my family, my dad always has some dried mushrooms or home made jam from blueberries for me even now😀when I go home. I just do simple onion, garlic, mushrooms, bit of potato and add red lentils to thicken soup plus some stock. It's lovely 😊

[lucigret in reply to sminka17]

Some happy memories there 😊. I’m sure your soup reminds you of home too. I think you have inspired me to make some 😊
