My favourite is to twist out the stalks, saving them to add to green salads for flavour... Lay them out on an oven dish and add a pinch or two of either masterfoods onion salt or masterfoods garlic salt.. now a pinch or two of peri peri of chilli powder...and the a drizzle of olive oil...Place them close to a hot grill and cook until oil bubbles..(dont overcook till they go blackish)serve immediately..

Make a roux and add thick sliced mushrooms.. stir in gently to coat and add a good lot of fine chopped parsley and some fine chopped garlic... white pepper.. pinch of salt... Great as a tasty side dish and also on toast with leftovers...

I cook them very similar to that but make up a batch of garlic/chili/herb/salt butter and smear a good dollop of that onto each mushroom - into a hot oven for a bit and enjoy :-) Love mushrooms in any shape or form but done like this they are a definite favorite around here.

Anyone on here will tell you I'm a mad herb fan and grow all my own... It's good to make combination herb butters, rolled like a cigar in cling wrap and then tin foil... Into freezer... Just slice a knob off for BBQ steaks chops whatever...could plonk into mushrooms just as you have done... I just like the olive oil because it cooks the mushroom from the inside as well as being grilled on the outside...

I used to hate the stuff ( Dad used to eat blue vein cheese when we were kids and being a lincolnshire lad, loved it with apple pie!) i think the smell put me off...wont tell you what i thought it smelt like) When I met my DH, he introduced me to it and now i love it, however, I much prefer a creamy blue rather than say a Rocquefort (sp) Kikorangi would be one of my favourites and in a risotto it is just lovely.Think I might make one tonight actually LOL

Gosh cookessentials that brought back memories. My nana used to make "black bun", (very dark made with burnt sugar and fruit,) the old Scots ate it with a thick slice of cheese and washed it down with a "wee dram"

yesp, Dad likes his blue cheese with a piece of apple pie or my old ( now deceased) aunties "farmhouse cake" made with lard and fruit and flour...it was mighty tasty too, very crumbly.but very tasty.

I chop the mushroom stalks with garlic and basil, put the mix on top of the mushrooms, drizzle with olive oil and grill.
BTW, for some reason, in Nelson, basil plants went mad this summer.Everyone is trying to give it away and no one wants any, because they've all got their own flourishing patches.

An apple pie without cheese Is like a kiss without a squeeze.

Must be time for wild ones right now though EH!

Yes, we had a crop of them growing on our lawn, two days ago. We impregnated the lawn two years ago with spawn.
