What are your favourite mushroom recipes? Share with The UK and Ireland Mushroom Producers

[YanaMumsnet]

Mealtimes can be a challenge, from ensuring we’re getting all the nutritious goodness from foods to making a dish suitable for the whole family. It means that most of us have to get creative in the kitchen with ingredients and recipes.
One of the foods we often use in cooking are mushrooms, as high in antioxidants and packed with various vitamins and minerals*.

The UK and Ireland Mushroom Producers want to find out your favourite recipes that include mushrooms, so other families can be inspired and get their much needed vit-hit.

Here’s what they had to say: “Following the latest NHS advice** around vitamin D, Nutritionist and best-selling cookery writer, Madeleine Shaw, unveils that you can achieve your daily dose by simply eating eight medium-sized vitamin D enriched mushrooms.
Mushrooms are an affordable, easily accessible and versatile ingredient to use in cooking across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now and in the future, it is important to protect and maintain a healthy immune system, seeking out new ways to achieve that much needed vitamin D hit for you and your family. However, one in four of us aren’t getting our daily recommended vitamin intake.*
British and Irish vitamin D enriched mushrooms will help keep sunshine vitamin levels topped up naturally.As a key vitamin essential in supporting a normal immune system, Vitamin D plays a vital role in keeping our bones healthy, as it works to regulate our intake of calcium, magnesium and phosphorous.”

So, we’re asking you:

• What are your favourite family recipes that include mushrooms as the main or one of the ingredients?
• Do you and your family have a favourite type of mushrooms and where do you usually find them?
• Do your children love mushrooms, or do you have to hide them in their meals, so they eat them?
• What makes you include mushrooms in your family’s diet - taste, nutrients, or something else?

Share your experience of making more of mushrooms in your meals on the thread below and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £200 Tesco voucher provided by the Irish and British mushroom producers plus a £100 voucher for a store of their choice (from a list) .

Thanks and good luck!

Baked eggs with mushrooms yum
Fry mushrooms in olive oil with garlic season with black pepper and lemon put in an oven proof dish, make two indents in the mushroom mixture crack and egg into each and then cover with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are set. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad. Delicious

Mushroom and Apple soup. Sound strange. Is delicious.
I can't claim this as my own - Debbie McGee cooked it on Celebrity Come Dine with Me.
Must be blended.

I like a composed warm salad with a variety of mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and salt, some kind of charcuterie, lettuce, olives, cheese and cherry tomatoes. Lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil dressing.

A favourite from my veggie days:
Tofu and mushrooms

Press firm tofu for 15 minutes or so to remove some moisture as you prep veggies.

Finely chop scallion.

Cut button mushrooms or tear other wild mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

Cube tofu into bite-sized pieces.

Dry fry tofu in a nonstick pan until brownish and a little crispy on all sides. Remove.

Add a little olive oil to the pan and sauté the mushrooms until almost cooked.

Add cooked tofu and (preferably Indonesian) soy sauce to taste, chilli flakes and scallions until tofu heats through.

Top with a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to taste.

Serve with any variety of rice you choose (I like brown jasmine) or buttered brown toast or your favourite noodles/pasta.

I have a lovely recipe for a starter with giant mushrooms and Camembert is melted in the bowl of the mushroom and there is a chilli and watercress pesto and honey drizzled over them.
Reminds me I haven't made this in a while!
Also a mushroom stroganoff recipe that I love.

Mushroom risotto.

We all love mushrooms cooked or raw. My kids complain if pizza doesn't have mushrooms on it.

We eat a lot of mushroom "burgers". A field mushroom baked in the oven either as it is or with either blue cheese or garlic butter out inside it about 10 mins before it's ready. Then eat in a bread roll with sauces, salad, gerkins or whatever you fancy.

We also love sliced mushrooms and boiled potatoes fried in lots of garlic butter. Simple but really tasty.

I love a mushroom omelette. Sometime I make creamy mushroom pasta, which is just cream cheeses garlic and fried mushroom- easy but delicious 😋

I pop out the mushroom stalk (and save for a stock or soup) and then I stuff the hole with high quality pate. Roll the shroom in seasoned flour, then egg, then panko breadcrumbs and gently shallow fry. Do plenty of them in small batches and leave them in a hot oven while you finish up. Serve with a garlic mayo or sour cream.
Squeeze of lemon.
You're welcome ;)

See above! My eldest son won't touch any vegetable bit my youngest loves them. We eat them because we like the taste. I hadn't really thought about their nutritional value, tbh I didn't really know they had much!

Mushrooms are my favourite, almost meaty and so low calorie.
An easy mushroom stroganoff:
1 sliced onion
Loads of sliced mushrooms
1 tub of creme fraiche
1 tsp whole grain mustard
A couple of stock cubes

Fry up the onions and mushrooms until they're cooked, add the creme fraiche, mustard and stock cubes. Serve over rice. Perfect.

I like doing a mushroom stroganoff with lots of different sorts of mushrooms and to have that with mash. It's tasty and filling

Chicken wrapped in parma ham with chestnut mushrooms, creme fraiché and truffles served with new potatoes and green beans.

The mushrooms are just lightly cooked so they still have a bite. I didn't think I liked mushrooms when I was younger but it was more to do with the way my parents cooked them. I think it's very '70s' style cooking where mushrooms are over done until the resemble black watery slugs. I think that's probably why mushrooms aren't as popular as they should be!

Mushrooms are my staple diet. My faves include mushroom, paneer and spinach curry, potabellos baked with halloumi and mushrooms on toast with a cream blue cheese sauce.

Mushroom stroganoff , delicious!

Portobello mushrooms stuffed with herb and garlic cream cheese, topped with breadcrumbs and baked.

I've never really thought about the nutritional value of a mushroom. Going to follow this post for ideas of getting more into the dc. Ds2 will eat anything but ds1 is an expert in picking out the tiniest bit of mushroom, onion or pepper.
Generally we're pretty boring here and stick to adding mushrooms to a burger - Swiss style with cheese. Or with steak and chips!

I'm a big fan of mushrooms, leeks, apple and chestnuts sauted together, topped with a stilton crumble and then baked for 20minutes of so. It started off as my (veggie) Xmas dinner but now gets a regular outing.

So many dishes on here I want to try! Dh and I love them but only one of the dcs does and I've not successfully sneaked them past the others. We like a very simple mushroom soup with onion, garlic, cream and a dash of sherry. Also sausage and mushroom pasta: cut open a packet of sausages and fry, breaking up the.meat, with garlic, fennel seeds and oregano. Add sliced mushrooms and when they are cooked finish off with cream. Nice over tagliatelle but goes with any pasta really. Also I once made a recipe that used dried mushrooms whizzed to a powder in the blender as a flavouring and thickener and now I always have a little pot of it on the go; a teaspoon or two gives soups and stews a hit of umami.

Garlic mushrooms

Mushrooms stuffed with pate

Mushrooms a large greque

I'm a pan heat olive oil white wine vinegar , bring to the boil and add crushed coriander seeds and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Bring back to boil and add button mushrooms. Cool for 20 minutes and leave to cool. Best eaten at room temperature.

Is cool should be cook

I make a mean mushroom risotto with chestnut mushrooms and dried porcini, fresh parsley and garlic. We all eat every morcel. So much so I have to make an extra big amount each time!

Any chance of a rough recipe (don't need exact amounts if you do it on the hoof just ingredients!)

I love mushrooms. Happy to eat any kind anywhere with anything, except perhaps mash potato.

Mushroom stroganoff definitely my favorite although also use mushrooms a lot in stir frys as well.

I don't have one. Mushrooms are the devil's food!

I love mushrooms. I really like

Mushrooms on toast
Mushrooms with cream and spinach with pasta
Mushroom bolognaise with red wine lots of (mushrooms
