Mushrooms Gratin

[LPBeier]

i wasn't here when this thread ran. can we talk some more about mushrooms? there are so many things to love about them....today, i made a dish combining crimini, shiitake and oyster mushrooms - sauted them together with onions, made a pan gravy, added a bit of wine and spooned the whole thing over some wonderbread toast: breakfast for two! happy july 4th everybody!

Vitauta, that sounds really good. You may want to make your own thread for your recipes though as they can get lost in other threads. The best thing to do is give it a name and use that as your thread title.

I am not saying I don't want you in my thread, not at all! This sounds good and deserves its own place in the site.

I agree, name it and make it's own place. I plan on cooking it up.

This yummy dish will be on our Thanksgiving table this Thursday. I assemble it in the morning and pop in the oven as the turkey is resting. It's become a favorite.

I'm bumping this thread so our newer members will have a chance to savor this great recipe.

If you're looking for an easy side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas this one is really easy and delicious.

+1, Z! It's so tasty!

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Yep, best decadent side dish ever!

 

[Addie]

Okay, you have me convinced. I am heading back to page one and copying it. Thanks in advance.

If only the other 3 people I cook for liked mushrooms.

Don't let that stop you. Make it for yourself. They can have a Fluffanutter while you are enjoying your meal.

I was thinking about making some stuffed mushrooms to take to Thanksgiving. I miss my mushrooms! Lol.

You can still have your mushrooms. Just cook them separate and then add them to your dish. My whole family loves mushrooms. I swear a couple of my kids would put them in their breakfast cereal if it wasn't so weird. I live alone but I keep mushrooms on hand all the time. Both fresh and canned. I prefer the fresh though. I always have to have them in my omelet.

Just make it for you! It's worth it.

What PF said. Never deprive yourself because of someone else's dislike for a certain food. You are not only depriving yourself of a food you love, but also of foods that contain nutrients that can only benefit your well-being.

I'm going to make this tonight. Bought some mushrooms, I love mushrooms. And I have some cheese in the fridge. I bought some dehydrated porcini mushrooms, I've always wanted to try them. I've also never cooked with dehydrated mushrooms, hope it comes out ok.

I love to grind dry porcini and add them to mushroom dishes. It really makes that mushroom flavor "pop".

 

[Dawgluver]

Where do you all get your dried porcinis? I looked into FungusAmungus, shipping was almost as much as the mushrooms. Amazon had complaints about worms in theirs.

 

[GotGarlic]

I find them in good grocery stores, with the dried peppers in the produce section.

 

[Annageckos]

I got mine from the grocery store too, they have them by the other mushrooms. I had looked at ebay today and there are tons of dried mushrooms there of all kinds.

We have had hits and misses with our dried Porchini mushrooms. The first batch we brought back from Italy and ended up having to throw them out because of worms. The second batch we ordered from Amazon and they developed mold. Amazon gave us our money back however, and then we bought these, and I'm very pleased with them.

Whatever you buy, keep them in the freezer.
