hit me with your best tasty methods to cook mushrooms quickly?
Thanks

Nuke them from Orbit.

It’s the only way to be sure.

Fried in butter

/thread

how long would you fry them for?
details, cash/dash I need details!

Fried dry (i.e. no oil) in a hot pan until they are cooked. There’s a surprising amount of water in them that needs to come out. Once done toss in some garlic butter.

Fry in butter, season with salt and pepper cook until they squeak turn off heat wait till they release water. A quick reheat done.

Not mice.

Mushrooms.

Best way is to make tea out of them, and hold your nose as your drink…

Oh wait. Not those mushrooms.

not if you use ribena…

It depends how you like your mushrooms – I like olive oil, garlic salt and fry until lightly coloured
Other days I like them heavily fried in butter until the water comes out and you can reduce it into a sauce but that’s not quick

a small amount of butter and olive oil, a pinch of dried thyme, make sure the sliced shrooms are spread evenly on the base of the pan (piling them up steams them) fry on a medium heat for five minutes or so until looking cooked

Until done.

Quick tea for maximum impact or freeze them in a massive ball and nibble on them at house parties throughout university

coincidentally I’m just cooking a mushroom stroganoff for tea.

Onions
paprika/smoked/regular
garlic
dash of red wine.
shrooms
sour cream.

easy

Add bacon to a pan fry until crispy.

Throw mushrooms in the bin.

Enjoy.

I do normally wok them with some veg oil but sometimes they just turn out minging. Lately I’ve taken to microwaving them and they turn out edible just not very tasty.

sacré bleu!!!

*crosses himself furiously*

Slice them quite thin, put them in a bowl with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice. Then cook pasta, drain pasta, and add together in the pasta pan, leave lid on for about 1 minute, then serve, with extra black pepper if you want. 😀

They smell great microwaved! Sometimes do it at work and then do eggs – people always comment the mushrooms smell like a proper cooked breakfast.

Whereas the reality is they’re just reall hot and bland :/

Cook them in them in bacon fat. Surprisingly even when cooked in fat the water comes out.

Pan fry with small amount of butter and oil, add sea salt and black pepper.

Drac has it !!

chestnut mushrooms raw sliced with good extra virgin olive oil.I got that from Antonio Carluccio so it must be OK.

Put them on a pizza.

Best way to cook mushrooms is raw? 😕

hi Drac, welcome to STW.
i guess you are new here 🙂

Hahaha!

Are you just after mushrooms on their own or as a side?

Or just want to use up some mushrooms?

If the latter, just chop them up and stick in just about any dish you like. Casserole, curry, risotto, lasagne, spag bol, any pasta dish really, stick on pizza, anything.

Making a roast, shove in with the spuds a couple of minutes before the end and roast them.

On their own though – fry.

a small amount of butter and olive oil, a pinch of dried thyme, make sure the sliced shrooms are spread evenly on the base of the pan (piling them up steams them) fry on a medium heat for five minutes or so until looking cooked

Almost exactly this. Don’t add too many to the pan. The high water content means they steam themselves. Cook on a low heat and let the water evaporate as they cook. Increase the heat at the end. Add worcestershire sauce at the end.

The higher the water content of the mushrooms, the smaller they should be chopped. Don’t wash them; just brush the dirt off.

If you’re able to plan in advance, next time you roast some pork, keep the fat. It’s perfect for cooking the mushrooms in. We used to slow roast half-bulbs of garlic to squeeze onto the mushrooms at the end.

Serve on toast, obviously.

use open-cup mushrooms and a lot of them (about 500g, they’ll cook down to not much)
Cook them in two batches so that you can keep them in a thin layer in the pan
little bit of oil and a nice big pan
fry til the water comes out and sort of caramelises and sticks to the shrooms

set those aside and repeat with the second batch

when they’re nearly ready add some garlic and cook it it for a minute then put the first batch back in and throw in a glass of white wine, a spoon of balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper and cook for a couple of minutes until the wine has nearly bubbled away

Stir in some chopped fresh parsley just before you serve.

Serve on toast, obviously.

Or in a toasty (if you’ve got an old school breville)

butter the outside of the bread
coat the inside of the bread with dijon mustard
fill with chopped field mushrooms, garlic and fresh parsley
