8 ways with mushrooms

Mushroom stroganoff

If you’re looking for a rich and filling vegetarian spin on a classic stroganoff, you can’t beat this mushroom variety. The signature ingredients of sour cream, herbs, butter and onions are all natural companions to mushrooms, leaving you with a decadent dish perfect for pairing with rice or mash.

Mushroom soup

Make the most of the wealth of delicious mushrooms available throughout autumn by turning them into creamy mushroom soup. These recipes combine fresh mushrooms with everything from ripe zucchinis and sautéed onions, to fresh thyme and a creamy roux sauce to make a range of lusciously creamy soups to warm you up.

Mushroom pie

An essential ingredient in your savoury pie, add mushrooms to a creamy chicken family pie or use it to bulk out a rich steak and onion pie.

Mushroom sauce

Creamy mushroom sauce is hard to beat, especially when served with steak and mash. This decadent sauce is also a good one to turn to when you’re looking for a creamy match to roast chicken, and is delicious spooned over buttery mashed potatoes.

Mushroom casserole

Fill your house with the aromas of a slow cooked casserole filled with your choice of meat like chicken, pork or beef with a generous serving of mushrooms.

Mushroom stir-fry

Add versatile mushrooms to your stir-fries to add an earthy and meat-like flavour. Pair it with a robust sauce so they can soak up all that goodness. Try them paired with chewy rice noodles or a mix of ancient grains and rice.

Mushroom risotto

Risottos are hard to beat when it comes to comfort food, and by adding mushrooms to the mix you’re left with an earthy coloured, robust dish. Always remember that to make a successful risotto, you must use short grain rice. The most common variety, available at most supermarkets, is arborio, which will give you a creamy risotto, and will absorb all the flavours you add to the pot.

Chicken, Mushroom and Rosemary Risotto

Mushroom pasta

Mushrooms are one of the favourite inclusions in a range of pasta dishes, helping to counteract the starchiness of pasta. Try a creamy mushroom sauce with fettuccine, or add a little bacon for a touch of smokiness to pair with fusilli.
