I have just recently become a mushroom eater, but the only way I've come up with eating them is by making stuffed mushrooms. I find I like baby portabella more than those little button ones. I haven't been brave enough to try any other kind. What are all of your favorite ways to eat mushrooms?

    I just steam an 8 oz. box of mushrooms (no need to add water) in the microwave for 3 minutes. Tastes great alone or with any other dish.

    I can't stand mushrooms but I WISH I liked them as they seem to be a great low-cal, 'meaty' food!

    I've seen lots of restaurants use a large fresh portobello in place of a burger. Maybe skip the bun (or just use half), grill the mushroom with some garlic oil, add fresh salsa, a little cheese, tomatoes, chilli sauce.... Making myself hungry and I don't even like mushrooms :wink:

    Saute the button mushrooms lightly after slicing them and add them to spaghetti sauce. Yummy.

    I love mushrooms. I mostly eat the white button and baby bellas (crimini). I'll steam them with squash/zucchini/broccoli, slice them raw in a salad, or load down my pasta with them (not a big ground beef eater, so they make a great meat substitute in spaghetti). I have plans to try using the big bella caps as substitutes for hamburger patties.

    Mushrooms add an unbelievably great flavor to food that I am still discovering.
    A giant portobello cap, marinated in viniagrette and grilled, with mayo, grilled red pepper and fresh basil leaves on a burger bun is delicious.
    My very favorite thing: Mushroom risotto. Arborio rice, organic chicken stock, a little wine, and some raw chopped mushrooms make an amazing taste treat. Save your daily calories for it, it's WORTH it!!
    Mushroom sauce for beef: A little butter (you don't need much!) sautee mushrooms, add flour and stir, then add stock. It is unreal. Experiment with different kinds of mushrooms. I got some fresh shiitakes today at the farmer's market and oh my goodness.

    For a higher calorie treat, beef stroganoff using this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/beef-stroganoff-iii/

    Any way but raw. I love them in pasta, on pizza, sauteed with onions on a steak, with perogies, stuffed, steamed... Mmm... and I've never had a mushroom that I didn't like.

    I love most kinds of fresh mushrooms. I absolutely hate the canned ones though - I think it's the texture. Add to pizza, salads, sauces and stirfry. Saute and add on top of meats. Chicken Marsala, mushroom soup, and portabella capp stuffed with sundried tomatoes and spinach are my favorites.

    so this may not be the healthiest response, but you can make an awesome po' boy using oyster mushrooms. if you coat them in a little flour, old bay and some corn meal, fry em up, and put them on a roll with lettuce tomato and spicy mayo - yum!

    we also like making a quesadilla with mixed mushrooms. just put them in a pan with some taco seasonings red pepper and onion and then put them in a whole wheat tortilla.
