Denny
Mushrooms are truly a cook’s best friend. Whether you
need just a little something to dress things up or to add a
whole new dimension of flavour, the answer is mushrooms
Mushrooms do not need to be peeled and both the cap and the
stem can be used. They can be sliced thickly or thinly, cut
in quarters, coarsely or finely chopped, or left whole. They
can be eaten raw as part of a salad, cooked and served as a
side dish, added to stews and casseroles, or stuffed and served
as a delicious starter.
sliced, in a microwaveable bowl (no butter or oil needed). Cover
and cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once |

These
are some easy preparation methods for fresh mushrooms:
|
 |
 |
Sautéing:
(This is the most popular way to cook mushrooms.) For
250g of Denny mushrooms, melt one tablespoon of butter/margarine
or heat one tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add mushrooms.
Stir until golden brown - about 5 minutes. Don’t put too
many mushrooms in the pan at a time otherwise they will steam
rather than brown.
|
|
Roasting:
Place Denny mushrooms in a shallow baking pan. Toss with a little
oil and roast in a 220oC oven, stirring occasionally, until
brown - about 20 minutes. Use about one tablespoon of oil for
each 250g of mushrooms.
Grilling: Lightly brush caps and stems with oil to keep the
mushrooms moist, season, and grill for about 10 minutes, turning
them once. Mushrooms should be placed about 10 cm from the heat
source. |
|
Seasoning:
Virtually any and all seasonings go well with Denny mushrooms.
Popular choices are garlic, black pepper and mixed herbs.
|
|
Freezing:
Fresh mushrooms don’t freeze well. However, if they have
been sauteed first, they can be frozen in an air-tight container
for up to one month.Remember also the option of Denny canned
mushrooms - always have a few cans of Denny mushrooms in the
pantry - they are a wonderfully convenient addition to any meal. |
|
Microwaving:
Denny Mushrooms cook extremely well in the microwave. Put 250g
of mushrooms, thickly sliced, in a microwaveable bowl (no butter
or oil needed). Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring
once |
