Mushroom salad emergency

Three words I’ve never seen used together and never will again.

Cut them up, and throw them in a bowl.

Sauté with little olive oil and butter. Minced garlic and white wine. Serve on chicken, or in pasta.

“I have some mushrooms that I need to use up.”

This has severely triggered my PTSD with Donald

People! These are not salad recipes! I repeat: this is a mushroom salad emergency! You are not helping!

If there are at all near turning, they should definitely be cooked.

Yes, r6, I plan to cook them. I think they'd last a few more days in a vinegary salad.

I make a mushroom salad that I first saw years ago on a cooking show. Sliced mushrooms and chopped parsley dressed in a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette and topped with parmesan cheese. Not the powdered parmesan that comes in a a shaker but thinly shredded like tiny little matchsticks. II usually serve it with a grilled steak.

Kennett Square, Pennsylvania is the mushroom capital of the world, this is where they link for recipes. If you are ever in town, do have the mushroom soup, it’s divine, and visit the nearby Brandywine River Museum to see the best collection of Andrew Wyeth and family paintings, and don’t skimp on the extra fee to visit N.C.’s studio.

Make mushroom ragu. I make it all the time with fettuccine pasta on my strictly vegan days, on my off-vegan days I top off the dish with some shredded parmesan cheese.

Slice and immerse them in simmering water for just a few minutes, don't want them rubbery. Cool. Make a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley ,minced garlic. Salt and pepper. Chill, serve. Serve with thick slices of tomato. I love mushroom salad, tomato, and grilled steak.

Thank you to r8, r9, r11, and r10. I think I'll try r10.

Oops, sorry R8 Didn't see your reply before posting. I see we have similar tastes.

OP, if you have all those ingredients, just make something up. Jeez...

I'm going to be honest, I've never had mushrooms in salad before. My favourite is this sausages, mushrooms, olives and oregano recipe, which I have with pasta.

Mushroom911, we have an emergency!

WHta R8 said, but carpaccio the mushrooms. Salt and pepper, lemon and olive oil, shaved parmesan. Or, OP, since you don't mention parmesan, serve the mushroom carpaccio over slices of mozzarella and tomatoes.

Put a handful of barley into some boiling water until it's cooked through. Sauté the quartered mushrooms in a little butter with chopped shallots and a bit of garlic. When barley is cooked and drained, stir in the mushrooms while both are still hot. Add a tablespoon of good olive oil, a bit of lemon zest, salt, and pepper, and stir. Chill in the fridge. Chop tomatoes, green onions, and fresh parsley. Add to chilled barley and mushrooms. Check for seasoning. Add salt if needed. If the salad is too dry, add a spoonful of your favorite vinaigrette or a bit of olive oil and lemon juice. If you want a little kick, add some finely-chopped jalapeño.

So many good recipes! I don't know what to make now.

Okay, slap my ass and call me a lowbrow, but Rachel Ray of all people once had a simple recipe for mushroom salad on her cooking show, one that turned out fantastic! It's just sliced fresh mushrooms, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh chopped parsely (salt, pepper, or other herbs if you like them).

That's all, and it's very fresh, light, and tasty.

Get a big bowl and take some Apple Cider vinegar and whisk a bit of brown sugar and cracked sea salt (or Kosher) and cracked black pepper into it along with a fair amount of your fresh parsley (bruise- mash up- the parsley with your hands to bring out the flavor since a knife will wreck it) and a bit of the rosemary (take it off it's little stems and bruise it with hands). Wash your tomatoes and slice them and also please brush off and wash your mushrooms- plop them on in the big bowl. Cover your big bowl and set in the back of the fridge for half a day.

Then take some greens, I don't care which kind, and layer a nice large serving platter with them. Take your big bowl out of the fridge and drain it. Plop everything onto the greens and then slice your mozzarella and place that on top of everything and drizzle some olive oil on top of the mozzarella.

This was all from off the top of my head, OP. I'm tired now and am soon to lay myself down for a spell.

No!

[quote]take it off it's little stems

Oh, dear.

You've never been to a salad bar, R15?
