An introduction to Mushroom Sliders

by mushroom enthusiast on 22 February 2012

in BBQ,Recipes,Summer Mushrooms

When it comes to being a little bit different with Summer Mushrooms it would be hard to go past this recipe for Mushroom Sliders.

Developed by Anna of the littlest anchovy (absolutely love the names people give their blog!) Mushroom Sliders are a vegetarian alternative to beef burger patties. And a very tasty one indeed, I might add.

Can you resist this great mushroom slider?

The great thing with this recipe is that the sliders can be made ahead of time and cooked up whenever you need a great tasting alternative for all those meat lovers out there.

Now I’m not going to give the game away too much, but the recipe does include a mix of great flavours – portobello mushrooms, Sage, thyme, garlic, tomato paste, and even some toasted walnuts and breadcrumbs.

When the Australian Mushroom Growers Association approached me to come up with a recipe for their Summer Mushrooms campaign, I saw this is a massive challenge to create something that can be made ahead of time, can be thrown on the barbecue when I got in from work or made for weekend barbecue with friends. Mushrooms are one of my favourite ingredients, I just love their funky earthiness and the fact that he can make some many dishes with them as you can see here. Who knew there were so many things to do with Mushrooms in Summer.

So, now you have heard all about it from Anna, head on over to her blog and grab the recipe for yourself. How easy is that!

I have included a recap below so you don’t miss out on any of our previous meal ideas.

Rosemary Mushroom Kebabs

by mushroom enthusiast on 21 February 2012

in BBQ,Recipes,Summer Mushrooms

Sometimes the simple things in life can give the most pleasure. And so it is with this next contribution to our ever-growing Summer Mushrooms recipe collection.

Give those kebabs to the tong master and let's eat!

Our bloggers have certainly done well in bringing out a range of different approaches and this simple little recipe for Rosemary Mushroom Kebabs is no exception. The Intolerant Chef certainly knows how to knock up a recipe that is fuss free and can be handed over to the resident BBQ tong master to finish off.

As our Intolerant Chef explains:

I wanted to find a way to make mushrooms on the BBQ easy- easy to manage, easy to turn, and easy to eat too. So my mind drifted in the direction of things on sticks…and Rosemary Mushroom Kebabs were born. Perfect solution! Mushrooms mustered into manageable measures, no mucking about! Turn the whole lot at once, just a couple of times, and line them up next to the sausages, not even a hardened carnivore could complain about that.

Too easy. Now don’t forget to rip on over to the Intolerant Chef and grab the recipe and get cooking with Summer mushrooms.

At last it would appear that the sun is out and Summer is making a belated appearance. Not to worry though – the weather might not have been that great but the Summer Mushroom dishes just keep on coming.

This time Bakebikeblog has got those pedals moving (well as much as you can when you are 37 weeks pregnant) and cooked up a lovely Warm mushroom and spinach salad. Two main ingredients and plenty of spices do the trick quite nicely.

Plenty of mushrooms in this tasty little recipe.

And best of all, there is plenty of mushrooms, with half a kilogram used in this recipe. Go the healthy all-rounder.

If you have been following our Summer Mushroom bloggers you know the drill. Head on over to Bakebikeblog, grab the recipe and get cooking. Don’t forget to come back and tell us how it went.

Pork and macadamia nut stuffed mushrooms

by mushroom enthusiast on 9 February 2012

in Recipes,Summer Mushrooms

Someone once unkindly said that life was too short to stuff a mushroom. Whoever said that couldn’t have been a mushroom lover – or had never perhaps partaken of Pork and macadamia nut stuffed mushrooms!

Life is never too short to stuff a mushroom!

This recipe, comes courtesy of another of our Summer Mushroom bloggers, thecattylife, and is a further great addition to our collection.

Humble as my friend – the mushroom – may be, what I love most about these guys is not that they come in a huge variety of choices (I love them all), but they are also so versatile whether you want to spruce them up for a fancy dish or just chop ‘em and throw ‘em in a salad.

To enjoy this delicious little treat, just head on over to thecattylife, grab the recipe and get cooking. And if you’re looking for any further inspiration don’t forget to check out the recipes below to see what our other Summer Mushroom bloggers have been up to.

Barbecue Mushroom Salad

in BBQ,Recipes,Summer Mushrooms

Over the last few weeks My Mushrooms has highlighted great recipes from some of our Summer Mushroom Bloggers.  They have all been deliciously different, offering meal ideas that make the most of the humble mushroom.

BBQ Mushroom Salad - delicious simplicity from Summer Mushrooms

This time, I am offering up a recipe that is one of our own. Yes, it appears on the front page of our Summer Mushrooms Website, but just in case you haven’t managed to get across and visit, here it is in all its glory.

The great thing about this recipe for Barbecue Mushroom Salad is that I can personally vouch for it. Yes, on Sunday afternoon has summer made yet another all too brief visit, I managed to squeeze in a barbecue that included this little number. I am happy to report that the rest of the troops gave it high marks, polishing it off in the one sitting.

Now the best thing about this recipe is not only the fact you can read the instructions HERE, but you can also see how it is done, courtesy of a video, featuring celebrity chef, Janelle Bloom. All of which makes it impossible to get wrong, so you can spend more time doing other important things – like relaxing.
