What to do with a surfeit of mushrooms?

[broguemum]

I am not inspired and I have nearly a whole kilo of mushrooms to use up (DH went shopping ). What can I do that is interesting and easy and is not risotto?

soup?

i really like them just fried with garlic on toast. hmm that could be lunch.

Does mushroom soup freeze well? A kilo is a lot of mushrooms...

Garlic mushrooms on toast for dinner tonight then.

I really like them fried with a bit of cayenne and worcester sauce and then dumped on top of cheese on toast - yum, could eat that every day! (which is why mushrooms don't last very long in my house!)

Ficelle picarde

You could dry them.....

Pack them up and send them to me ... I LOVE mushrooms.
Mushroom soup does freeze well and its yummy!

Ah! Now there's an idea that would use up the sour cream too. Thanks!

Dry them?? How?

You will find once you cook them that they lose a lot of moisture, so a kilo isn't that much.

Mushroom sauce for pasta would be good - finely chopped onion and garlic, fried gently till soft. Add chopped mushrooms, some tarragon, season and cook till moisture has disappeared. Then add a spoonful of tomato puree and some double cream.

Othersideofthechannel - I will do that tonight.

Thanks everyone.

BecauseI'mworth it - does that sauce freeze well?

I haven't tested that recipe, I just googled for one in English because I'm not sure how well known the dish is out of France.

It is one of DH's favourite meals.

Dry (after cleaning the mushrooms), on a wire rack in an airy warm place - greenhouse / airing cupboard. Check frequently for mould. It's hard to dry them thoroughly this time of year, but you can semi-dry then freeze.

BM - don't know - never tried! Sorry.

Mushroom risotto.

DD would eat them all for you. You could just pop them in her lunch box every day and voila!
