SPICY PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS IN BALSAMIC VINEGAR
==============================================

Ingredients:
------------
2 Portabella mushrooms (they are Xpensive!)
2 large sweet red peppers
2 cherry tomatoes
1/2 red onion
1 tsp olive oil
1 tblsp fresh, coarsely ground black pepper
Coriander leaves

Sauce:
------
1/2 capful *very good* BALSAMIC VINEGAR (this is the key - get one
from a specialty store, the supermarket ones are too watered
down. A good Modena type is good)

salt to taste

Algorithm:
----------

Preparation:
------------
1. Whisk the sauce ingredients together
2. Wipe the shrooms with a moist towel and slice long.
3. Chop the onions along the grooves.

Cooking:
--------
1. Place whole peppers and tomatoes on a foil in a preheated oven at
BROIL. Keep turning them until the peppers are charred. The tomatoes
will bleed into the foil...don't throw that water.

2. Remove peppers and make long slices. Remove the core and the seeds.

3. Mix the cherry tomatoes and the fluid they exude, into the sauce.
Mix well until the tomatoes are crushed into the sauce.

4. Pour the oil in a heated skillet. Saute onions and 'shrooms.
Sprinkle with black pepper. Add half the sauce and saute for a few mts.
more.

Warm Mushroom Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

2 large beefsteak tomatoes
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
4 ribs celery with leafy green tops, chopped
1 pound baby portobello mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar, eyeball it
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Split the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds and flesh. Trim the core tops with small knife. Season the tomato halves with salt and pepper.

Heat the extra, 3 turns of the pan, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery and mushrooms and cook 7 to 8 minutes until mushrooms are tender. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and add vinegar to the pan. Turn off heat and stir in mustard and parsley to coat. Adjust the seasonings.

Divide the warm salad among the 4 tomato halves and serve.

Answer 4

Wipe mushrooms w/ damp cloth. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet on med. high heat. Add mushrooms and some chopped onion and 3 tablespoons sherry. Cook until browned and all liquid absorbed, season w/ salt and pepper to taste. Serve on toast, or on top of a good steak, broiled chicken breast, or on the side with anything. Also good on top of cooked pasta tossed with olive oil or butter and some freshly ground Parmesan.

Answer 5

fried mushrooms are great - you put them in a saucepan with a little oil and a little butter and some fresh crushed garlic. On low heat, leave the lid on until they're almost done, then remove lid and let them cook til they're done.

They are also AWESOME done on the george foreman grill.
I mix up a 'marinade' of olive oil, lemon juice(not too much lemon juice), garlic, and any spices of your choice, if you like chilli you can add some chilli. chop the mushies (or you can leave them whole, but they can get a bit squashed by the grill if you do) put them in a bowl with the marinade and make sure they're all coated with the mixture. You can leave it to soak in, but it doesn't really matter . put the mushies in one layer on the hot grill and in like 2 minutes (or whenever you think they are ready) I guarantee you will have the yummiest scrummiest mushrooms!! seriously.

Grilled red pepper & parmesan polenta goes great with mushrooms. basically put the capsicum under the grill skin up, until it goes black and blisters, take it out and put it in a bowl and cover it with cling wrap for 5 mins, then peel the skins off & discard, slice pepper into strips and put a serving dish with a dash of balsamic vinegar.
Cook polenta according to directions on packet, except add some fresh grated parmesan whilst still hot. After it's cooled cut into slabs (trianglar slabs look nice) and put under the grill to brown & crisp slightly on top.

good luck!

Answer 6

This would have to depend upon what type of mushroom? If it is a steak type mushroom (portobella ect.) Then I like it cooking it on BBQ grill, with olive oil and slat and pepper. If they are smaller mushrooms (white, button ect.) Then a couple of different ways, for button I like to simmer in a burgundy wine sauce, Shitake's I like sauteed in garlic and butter till reduces.

Answer 7

Fried in butter!!! On toast, with steak and pepper sauce, with scrambled eggs - yumm love mushrooms!

Answer 8

the best way for me to use mushrooms (canned variety) is with my white sauce for pasta, it gives the white sauce an interesting flavor that is not present in other whites sauces, in other words it makes your white sauce the best one anybody has even tasted. you can even add sliced ham, frozen peas, cubed potatoes, cubed carrots and a few sprigs of chopped parsley. or canned tuna with your choice of veggies.

Answer 9

Answer 10
