I think I'll have to try this tooo

with the large flat type, I cut out the stalk and back them with flavoured cous cous and a bit of halloumi

with the dinky button mushrooms I pan fry thm and stir in low fat cream cheese (garlic & chives as above!) and then that can be used for stirring through pasta or topping a baked chicken breast

other than that just good plain dry-fried mushrooms on toast!

I make mushroom + leek risotto with barley instead of rice. It's amazing.

I love sauteing sliced mushrooms along with some shallots and lots of garlic, and then just eating it with whatever. I like to make little wheat germ cakes and topping with some Greek yogurt (spiced, maybe like tzatziki or something), the sauteed mushrooms and then whatever veggies I'm in the mood for (tomatoes, bell peppers, lettuce...). This also works great with any protein. It's especially delicious with fish, again with some Greek yogurt and one of my favorite sides - sauteed pears and onions, with nutmeg and lots of black pepper.

Another fantastic side, especially with red meat, is sauteed mushrooms and sugar snaps. You need to give the mushrooms a good head start, though, since the sugar snaps should be nice and crunchy.

Then of course, there's stuffed mushrooms. Any kind of cheese is awesome inside a mushroom cap, roasted or grilled.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

yummmmmmmmmmmm

Stuffed mushrooms! I use ricotta cheese and mozzarella with my favourite vegies
Also love it on homemade healthy pizza

Mushrooms are on of my favourite things ever. I put them in everything.

General steamed vegetables, something green, some kind of root, something 'sweet' (capsicum) etc, something from the onion family and mushrooms. Chop a bit of it all up steam and put pesto/gravy/splash of oil/herbs on mmm yum!

I put them in dumplings tofu/carrot/cabbage and make dumpling soup with bok choy and miso and bean sprouts or just eat the dumplings steamed.

I put them with kidney beans, corn, jalepeno, tomato and fry them up 'mexican' style and eat them in lettuce cups.

Chuck them in stir frys, fried in large slices as a sushi filling. Put them cooked or raw in salads.

You can do endless things with the humble mushroom

Mushrooms are my favorite food.. I have them for breakfast most days, usually sauteed with green onions, garlic, greek yogurt, and a little soy sauce. Or quartered and baked with balsamic, garlic, and rosemary or tarragon. Pickled mushrooms are great if you like that sort of thing, you just boil them in vinegar and water for a few minutes, with whatever spices you like (I use garlic, bay leaves, cloves, and chili flakes), then refrigerate. I make mushroom pate with fresh goat cheese (easy to make yourself) and spices, and wild mushroom soup (garlic, shallots, white wine, yogurt) whenever they're available fresh.

Bump! Luv mushrooms! Thanks everyone!

We typically buy a box of small canned mushrooms every month or so... a can gets added to almost every dinner, and a lot of lunches as well.

I sauteed some with bell peppers last night and added them to quesadillas. Yummy!

Stuffed with wholemeal breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, pepper and a little grated gruyere.

Stuffed with the above, but minced meat mixed in too - venison is a current fave as it's so lean.

Stroganoff.

Risotto.

Mmm. Must eat mushrooms...

Bump.

Bump!!! I LOVE mushrooms!!

I like baby portabellas. I put them in shrimp fried quinoa (I use a shrimp fried rice recipe and just substitute quinoa). I also like to roast them with carrots and asparagus-- just drizzle with olive oil and roast for at least half an hour. Usually more like 45 minutes. Delicious.
