Hi all,
My next idea will be to post recipes involving mushrooms(wild or more usually cultivated) My first one is this:

Cheese stuffed opencaps

X amount of open cap mushrooms
a small knob of butter for each mushroom(or oil if you prefer)
cheese- amount is totally dependant on amount of mushrooms and person!

Give mushrooms a clean(preferable with a damp cloth- the flavour is ruined more if run under a tap)

Put butter(or oil etc) on the gill side of mushroom. Add cheese and stick in oven at gas mark 7 for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy!

Mark

Here's an apetizer that kicks ass

Crimini buttons, remove the stem & stuff with smoked oysters. Top with herb & garlic butter, & a piece of cheese ( I use mozzerella or gouda). Place under broiler untill cheese is melted.

Enjoy

It seems that cheese goes quite well with mushrooms. For my cheese top opencaps, I use quite a strong cheese such as extra mature cheddar or something like Gruyere. I suppose it depends entirely on taste!

I'll be posting another recipe soon - I had one in mind but forgot what it was *slaps head*

Throw some chopped chanties in with your turkey stuffing. OMG! To die for!! If you add chopped raw oysters (not oyster mushrooms) to the stuffing, this will be one stuffing you will not ever forget! Exclamation

OK here's my killer mushroom & spinach omlette recipe.

Saute your favourite mushrooms with a bit of onion & garlic
Once mushies are mostly cooked cover with spinach, reduce heat slightly, place lid on pan & wait untill spinach is wilted.
Sprinkle some fresh cut parsely over spinach & mushrooms then add enough beaten eggs to almost cover spinach completely. Eggs should make thier way throughout the mixture. Put lid back on pan & wait till eggs are set. Flip if you feel daring, otherwise season with salt & pepper.
Cover with your cheese of choice, I like sharp cheddar for this, or if I'm in a decadent mood a mix of cheddar or gouda with stilton.
Add a few drops of water down the side of the pan to make steam, turn off heat, put lid back on & wait till cheese is melted.
Serve with light bodied riesling & enjoy.

Just make sure you bring some of that kickass Stilton, or a raw milk farm Cheddar, I had some a while back that was to kill for.

Mature cheddar goes well with Parasols- I havent tried it yet, but it certainly goes well with open cap shop bought mushrooms. I will try cheese covered parasols next year- hopefully!

The little "Totally Mushroom Cookbook" that is listed on this site is an awesome book for recipes. Exclamation
