Some uses of portabella mushrooms.

I was asked last night in class how to use portabella mushrooms.

This is such a great vegetable that we can use in place of hamburger. Because it is not as watery as other mushrooms it becomes the steak of the vegetable family.

Aways rinse mushrooms quickly ( you do not want to soak mushrooms in water), remove the stem, reserve for other use or great in your broth bag.

Some uses:

1-Use in place of a hamburger. Marinade it for 30 minutes, pat dry, put on the grill, bake or spray fry it on the stove. If your going to put it on the grill, roast a slab of red pepper with it.

2-After cleaning and removing stem, very carefully, cut small slits into the portabella, stuff with crushed garlic cloves, chopped green onions, soy cheese. Put on grill.

3-Use sliced portabella's in stir fry.

4-Use chopped portabella's in taco mixture, soups, stuffed peppers, or where ever hamburger is called for.

5-Make a stuffing with onions, celery, garlic, rice and seasonings. Put stuffing on top of portabella mushrooms and bake.

6-Oh yes, Portabella Mushroom Gravy
. Their is a recipe on my blog. It is a August posting, so you will not have to go back to far.

7-How about using them in sloppy joes.

If you Google in Vegan Portabella Mushroom recipes, you will come up with lots of ideas.

Hope this will help, to make your recipes more enjoyable.

Have a great day.
