How to Prepare Gourmet Mushrooms
1. Cleaning
- Gently brush off any dirt using a dry paper towel or soft brush.
- Avoid washing with water unless necessary, as mushrooms absorb moisture easily.
2. Trimming
- Trim off any tough or woody stems near the base.
- For varieties like Blue Oyster or King Oyster, you may keep the stems if they’re tender.
Cooking Methods
Searing (Stovetop)
- Dry Cook First:
- Place mushrooms in a hot, dry pan (no oil) to release excess moisture.
- Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper browning.
- Add Flavor:
- Once moisture has evaporated, add butter or oil.
- Toss in chopped garlic and onions to infuse rich flavor.
- Sear until mushrooms are golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
Roasting (Oven)
- Prep:
- Tear or cut mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine with other vegetables if desired (e.g. carrots, onions, bell peppers).
- Season:
- Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with your favorite herbs and spices (salt, pepper, thyme, etc.).
- Roast:
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
