Suggestions for cooking mushrooms?

I've got half a pound of mushrooms sitting in the fridge.

I was going to do mushroom risotto, but on second thoughts I can't be arsed with all the stirring.

Anyone got any quick, easy and tasty suggestions? :)
 
Fry off some onion and garlic until soft, add the mushrooms and a small amount of cream, then melt in some stilton to taste (so, basically shitloads!). You can also add crispy bacon bits and a handful of frozen garden peas. Lovely on pasta or even toast. Mmm!

Ooh, that sounds nice. :)

It's a badboy no mistake!

Have you got any spices in? You could knock up a little mushroom curry if so.

Loads. I cook curries all the time. :D Tbh that was my first thought, but I've got loads of other veggies in with a view to making curries later in the week so I thought I'd seek some alternative suggestions.

Still liking your first one, although it'd mean a trip to the shop for cream and stilton...
 
It'll be worth it! If you're going to make a trip to the shops then I would get the bacon and peas an all (unless you have em obv.), it really makes it.
 
With peas! Of course :) (Am veggie, so no no to the bacon, and I don't like stilton)

That sounds yummy. I just bought a shed-load of mushrooms earlier. I had cake for tea :oops: but I'm craving something savory now and this might just do the trick.

Great thread

Do you like any cheese? Maybe a nice mature cheddar would be good instead of stilton.
 
Sorry Spudinka. Laziness won out. :oops: Mushroom curry it is. :D

I'll bear your suggestion in mind for next time, though, 'cos it sounds lovely.

Can't fault you at all. Laziness dictated that I have a fishcake cob for tea, so I can't say owt. :rolleyes:

I hope it's a beautifully lush curry.

if they are whole 'shrooms then roast them under the over broiler in a bit of beef broth, red wine, shallots and garlic.....preferrable in a cast-iron skillet

and roast them whole, not bleedin cut up

I suggest you destalk then peel them before you do anything with them.

I always knew you were a wrong'un, firk... :mad:

Too late to hold the curry I'm afraid, Hocus Eye. It's slowly filling the flat with a delicious aroma as I type...

I forgot - add some Dijon mustard at the cream / stilton stage.
 
I used a very strong cheddar in the end. Also added a bunch of leftover veg from the day before. It was very yummy, and surprisingly filling.

Of course, I cooked it with a stupid amount of butter so expect a thread about my cholestoral level in health sometime soon :D
