    I love mushrooms lots of different ways. They are great with stir fried for example. I love them in a sauce over chicken too.

    I think a better question would be what don’t I cook mushrooms with? The combination of mushrooms and spinach seem to show up in my meals on a daily basis. A breakfast scramble. A pasta addition. Or just with some sliced potatoes and rosemary.

    A Whole Food gift cards would be the perfect way to offset my holiday shopping… and get more mushrooms in my kitchen!

    It is hard to pick just one! Current favorites include in a pasta sauce, frittata, or on pizza.

    I love to make mushroom meat-balls, using a variety of wild and dried. The secret to getting a meaty flavor is utilizing umami-rich dried shitakes, which I grind into a powder and add along with tomato paste, a splash of coconut aminos, and ground toasted walnuts. I’ll interchange the complimenting ingredient as well, such as eggplant or lentils!

    Mushrooms! <3
    Two favorites:
    1. Simply roasted with olive oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Then sprinkled with a little Malden smoked salt and fresh cracked pepper.
    2. In Hungarian paprikash, with mushrooms instead of chicken. When I decided I wanted to become a vegetarian when I was a teenager, my dad worked tirelessly to adapt all of my favorite recipes (his "famous" recipes, which all contained meat!) into vegetarian versions. For the paprikashroom (as we now call it) he uses a variety of mushroom types, and cooks them with butter, onions, red peppers, pimentos, and bay, adding lots of paprika and sour cream and a good hoppy beer along the way. We serve it with homemade drop kluski noodles. It's my favorite comfort food in the world, full of family history and love, that has now become a holiday tradition when we're all back together and in the kitchen again 🙂 Just writing this.. I can't wait!
