We never get tired of mushrooms! For breakfast - eggs, bacon and a handful of small mushrooms all fried in butter. As a starter or light lunch, a large Portobello mushroom, filled with pate and covered in grated cheese. Cook in an oven at 200c (400f / Gas Mark 6) for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with grated cheddar cheese and cook for a further 5 minutes. Easy, low-carb and tastes great ...
They are best stored by placing them in a paper bag in the salad drawer of the fridge to keep for a few days.
When preparing them, wipe with a kitchen towel or rinse briefly and dry before use. Do not peel. Leave the mushrooms whole or slice as necessary.
All types of edible mushrooms contain varying degrees of protein and fibre. They also contain B vitamins as well as a powerful antioxidant called selenium which helps to support the immune system and prevent damage to cells and tissues.
Bon Appetit !
All the best Jan
Sounds good. I've got mushrooms for lunch today. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love each ingredient...and together I'm sure I would love them, as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm never without mushrooms or cheese. Pate only rarely these days has a place. I mostly use it nowadays if I'm putting together a platter for celebratory purposes.
...it doesn't look all that appetizing.
ReplyDeleteI've heard nothing but good things about mushrooms, and have even heard they are fat burners, but I have a hard time making them the star of a recipe. However, I'm a die hard cheese fan, so that always helps.(lol) Hugs and thanks for the recipe. RO
ReplyDeleteWow...what a coincidence! Austin (my husband) sometimes prepares these for Boxing Day lunch...and I can honestly say...they are one of the most delicious snacks I have ever tasted!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...hopefully now many more people will get to enjoy this fabulous recipe! :))
This looks so good.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms are a thing I fall in and out of love with.
ReplyDeleteI used to love a mushroom risotto made with parmesan.
Of course being lactose intolerant it is a thing of the past.
I thing mushrooms without cheese or fried in butter are just not as tasty.
I still eat them but they are not what they used to be :)
Interesting start for the day. never made pate with breakfast. I will have to try this. I make a liver dumpling soup I have been craving for, but prefer duck or goose liver.A Czech dish
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, thanks Jan.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms for breakfast? We will definitely put them on the early morning menu this week! Thanks, Jan!
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms and have not been eating them a lot lately. But I am now wondering about the selenium...Probably not that much, but I recently found out that brazil nuts have enough selenium to be toxic if on eats more than about one a day....But I think today may be a day for something with mushrooms in it. Hungarian paprikas mushrooms is something not that many people know.
ReplyDeleteHere is an example of a recipe for it. http://spicygoulash.com/recipe-items/mushroom-paprikash/. Iff I make this I don't use any flour and can serve it over cauliflower rice.
Yum, I love mushrooms, and covered in cheese sounds even better! xx
ReplyDelete10 cm?! I guess I´ve never seen them in our supermarkets here then!
ReplyDeleteI´ll have a look, though.
Crazy, that is huge!
A few times I had Portobello mushrooms and I thought they were delious. But I like mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
I tend to prefer mushrooms as part of a dish, as opposed to the main feature.
ReplyDeleteOh...how I adore mushrooms!xxx
ReplyDeleteLooks so good and what a beautiful red tomato!!
ReplyDeletePortobello mushrooms are great!
ReplyDeletethat looks like a great fall dish, and thanks so much for the tips on storing them :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have been enjoying a nice Autumn so far!
Now that's a yummy suggestion for mushrooms Jan, thankyou. Also, I like the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visits, it's lovely to catch up again 😊 Sue xx
wow, great idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use large mushrooms, thanks Jan.
ReplyDeleteI just grilled two portobello mushrooms last weekend. This would have been a great recipe and easy way to prepare these mushrooms had I known about it at the time.

Hi there, and many thanks for sharing your thoughts …
With regard to Selenium … Selenium occurs naturally in small amounts in foods, with the exception of Brazil nuts, which contain an abnormally high amount of the mineral.
The article called 'What Is the Danger of Too Much Selenium in the Body?' may be of interest, you can find it with this link
https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/danger-much-selenium-body-5749.html
I believe it is deemed sufficient to eat one or two Brazil nuts on a daily basis, read more here

Another excellent site which gives details about selenium is 'The Worlds Healthiest Foods' please see here www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?dbid=95&tname=nutrient
Sorry to give so many links, but they do provide some interesting details.
I think the recipe for Mushroom paprikash, mushroom goulash does look very tasty, and yes, I too would serve it with cauliflower rice. I've repeated the link below if any readers may wish to try it.

Once again, many thanks for your thoughts and comments - they are always nice to receive, read and share.
All the best Jan
