Mushrooms, Mushrooms and more Mushrooms (white wine, hamburger, bbq, tomato)

I love the big bellas brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with a little garlic powder and cooked under the broiler/grill....then slap the bella on two slices of bakery french bread, add some feta cheese, and maybe a slice of tomato or whatever I have handy, brush the bread with olive oil and cook in my Panini grill.

Raw, sliced in spinach salad.
In brown gravy for meatloaf.
Stuffed and baked.
Deep fried in batter.
Sliced and cooked in a little butter, s & p, then a little red wine & a few shakes of soy sauce til reduced to a syrupy consistancy for side with grilled steak.
Scallopini.
Coquilles St. Jacques.
Chopped and put in turkey stuffing, sometimes.
Marinated.

There's probably a 1/2 dozen more I can't think of.

A side dish I do is slice, put in sauce pan with some chopped garlic and alittle oil
Cook til shrooms & garlic are tender, then add frozen, whole string beans, and cook til beans are tender. Remove to serving bowl and sprinkle with grated cheese. (I use a combo of romano & parmesan)

My dad's sauteed mushrooms:
Chop up a shallot and cook in some butter/oil until they glisten. Then add a bunch of broken up mushrooms (keep them in chunks). He usually uses a mix of whatever he finds (button, baby bella, wild, etc). Top with some salt and cook on low heat to get the water out. Add some thyme, pepper, and 2 cups of sherry (or Marsala, or Madiera, or whatever you want). Cook until it thickens, add a chunk of cold butter for richness. You can also add a pint of heavy cream to make it a creamed mushrooms sauce. We use it for gravy, sauce, or just as one of the courses for Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner.

You can also marinate and grill portabellas. That's always good. I'll also add mushrooms to zucchini parmesan to give it more depth in the flavor (cook them first to get rid of the water).

That sounds really good.... I have never even bought that type of mushroom before... yikes

Loved all the responses & ideas. Esp. the mushroom sauce/pasta, mushrooms & rice, and mushrooms and green beans, as green beans are one of my favorite veggies.

I like the idea of using shallots instead of onions. Sounds so good.

I am surprised no one mentioned cream of mushroom soup, which I forgot about. Sooooo good. You really taste the mushrooms.

Mommytotwo, one thing I like a lot is to add asparagus tips to my cream of mushrooms soup. They add texture and complement the mushrooms. You should get the green thin asparagous if possible not the thick white ones.

I like them all but raw. Sauteed, Caramelized with onions & peppers, in my omelet with some salt and pepper, on a pizza, in a pasta, chicken marsala, you name it. GIVE ME THOSE COOKED 'SHROOMS. woo. Probably my favorite veggie. I don't know why so many are retracted from it because it's a "fungus". It does no harm to you..

Generally, the only thing I put them in is scrambled eggs. A bit of bacon or ham or salami pieces,, some sauteed onions and green pepper, sauteed mushroom , and then scramble eggs right in the pan with them.
