Mushrooms are one of those items that many households get week after week, but most of us just make the same thing with them time after time.
Here are a couple of easy new recipes to try that might just make you fall in love with mushrooms all over again!
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 400-500g sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or GF all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- salt & ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, or to taste (optional)
Directions:
- Heat butter/oil over medium heat, add mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost evaporated, about 5 mins.
- Add flour. Continue cooking and stirring for about 3-5 minutes, until the flour has been fully absorbed and is not white anymore.
- Add 250ml of broth, stirring briskly until liquid has thickened, there should be no flour lumps, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the remaining broth and mix thoroughly.
- Simmer at a gentle boil over medium-low until thickened, about 15-20 minutes, stirring often. You may need a bit more broth depending on how thick you want your gravy to be!
Ingredients:
- approx 1kg button mushrooms
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp + 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp each parsley, rosemary & thyme, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Grease a large baking sheet with 1 tsp olive oil.
- Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss evenly to coat. If the mushrooms are large, you may want to cut them in half first.
- Arrange mushrooms in a single layer on baking sheet.
- Roast for 15-20 mins until tender, giving them a small shake halfway through to mix well.
- Serve as a side with almost anything you like! Remember to enjoy any leftover juices as they'll be full of flavour!
