Mushrooms

[Caribeing]

Do you like mushrooms, I think they are a very versatile veg, good in curries side dishes etc, but what is the best way to cook them to save them from disentigrating!

I often get find mushrooms while i'm walking the dog and I usually have them for breakfast fried with bacon and eggs,they make a black "gravy" that you dont seem to get with farmed ones,that tastes great soaked up in fresh bread. As you say they go into anything from salads to casseroles

I put some butter in the microwave them coat the mushrooms in them and pop them on the George forman grill.

Gorgeous with some grilled blue cheese or brie on top.

I've never had a mushroom disintegrate on me....

I either use them whole (say in mushroom dupiaza or other curry dishes when I use button mushrooms or small open cap ones) or thickly sliced open cap (again for curries or stews) or thinly sliced (on pizzas or in omelettes).

I sometimes rehydrate dried mushrooms (the lovely exotic ones for stews and casseroles) but they come as they are. Now truffles and truffle oil are another matter ...lol

Ohhhh I forgot to mention those huge open field mushrooms are glorious when filled with a tasty risotto and then topped with some smoked applewood cheese and browned off under the grill.... Heaven on earth !

I wash them, slice them, put them in a bowl with sliced onions, add garlic, black pepper with some butter or oil, and stick them in the microwave for a few minutes, depending how many.

Delicious.
