About Mushrooms
Mushrooms have an earthy, savory flavor and a meaty bite. They can be sautéed, roasted, grilled, stuffed or simmered in creamy sauces. Button, cremini and portobello are common and easy to find.
Unlike most vegetables here, mushrooms hold a lot of water and brown only in a hot, uncrowded pan. They are heartier than spinach and less sweet than carrots or peppers. They pair well with garlic, butter, thyme and cream.
Questions folks ask
Should I wash mushrooms?
A quick rinse or a damp wipe is fine. Dry them well so they brown.
Why do my mushrooms turn watery?
The pan may be too crowded or not hot enough. Cook in batches over higher heat.
Can I eat mushroom stems?
Yes, on most common types. Trim the dry end and cook them with the caps.
Kitchen tips
- Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth instead of soaking them.
- Cook in a hot pan without crowding so they brown.
- Wait to add salt until they start to color.
- Store in a paper bag in the fridge.
- Cook wild mushrooms only if you are certain they are safe to eat.
