(Pssst don’t forget that the best way to prepare mushrooms for cooking is to just wipe them with a clean damp cloth or paper towel and cut off any hard dried discoloured edges such as the base of the foot. Never “wash” them as they’ll absorb a ton of water)

Mushroom Soups and Stews

There is nothing more comforting than a creamy mushroom soup or hearty stew. They’re so versatile and can be made on the stovetop, with an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, but my favorite has to be in a slow cooker.

Enjoy as a light meal or make it more filling by serving soups with some sour cream and chives on top and a side of buttered garlic bread, or serve stews over polenta and sprinkle with veggie parmesan.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms are perfect as starters or side dishes and also make amazing party food with their tiny individual servings. Unlike most other stuffed vegetables, mushrooms require very little preparation in order to stuff, and shrink less, making them the perfect stuffable ingredient!
