My Best Mushroom Recipes, All In One Place
Raise your hand if you are a fan of mushroom dishes! I know we sure are. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are particularly spoiled by the abundance of fresh foraged wild mushrooms! Chantrelles, lobster mushrooms, shiitakes and morels are beloved by everyone in my house, and when we head out into the woods and come home with buckets-full, we get to answer our favorite question of all: How should we cook our mushrooms tonight? From a buttery mushroom galette, to a simple mushroom risotto, there are so many simple, delicious mushroom dishes for us mushroom lovers! Many are vegetarian, too.
Mushrooms, those wonderful fruiting bodies, emerge out of the ground as if to say “take me home! Cook something delicious with me!” And I love to honor the generosity of those lovely fungi by cooking up mushroom dishes as often as possible. While I love wild mushrooms, often my budget only allows me to keep button or cremini mushrooms on-hand, and you know what? Most of these mushroom recipes work with whatever mushroom you can get! Baby bellas? Sure! Portobellos? Heck yeah! Mushroom dishes are versatile and forgiving, and perfect for the fall season (though delicious year-round).
Without further ado, here are 20 amazingly diverse ways to use mushrooms. I have a different favorite every day, I think, but all of these recipes have been favorites over the years. All different, and all completely delicious.
