Mushrooms in all forms

Today I want to give you some ideas what to do with mushrooms. If you are lucky enough to know (thanks to the area you were born) the differences between edible and unedible ones, you will probably find my post boring. If you are new to mushroom cooking, read on!

I assume that you generally have access (in your local supermarket) to meadow mushrooms. They have white caps and have gills.
I usually buy the whole box of mushrooms, as it works out cheaper in the long run.

You should put yourself in a mindset of "zero food waste". So buy only what you are going to eat and don't overstock. If you think, you will not be able to use the whole box of mushroom, read below.

Mushrooms can be used in many different ways:
1. in a mushroom soup
2. on their own, fried and served with noodles
3. in a floury pastry as a stuffing ( pierogi)
4. as an addition to simmered pork to flavour it
5. as a main ingredient of your dinner to be served with potatoes, when you can't afford to buy too much meat
6. as a cold salad to accompany any cold lunch meat

Whatever you have at home, there is always some food that can be served with mushrooms. Enjoy!
