Beef stroganoff in slow cooker with plenty of sliced mushrooms in a creamy sauce, served on bed of noodles.

Chop up the mushrooms and cook gently in a pan with a little oil and plenty of garlic butter....add chopped bacon and herbs(parsley, thyme, rosemary) then add a little splash of cream.......... pull off the heat and add a good dollop of sour cream....Serve on toast with pepper and salt

Magic mushrooms recipe - works best with portabello mushrooms.
slice mushrooms.
Add tspn of oil to the pan and heat. Put in mushrooms and cook. (you might need to add another tspn of oil if it dries too quickly).
Stop cooking when they are nicely browned but before the moisture starts to come out.
Mix one tbspn of cornflour with two tablespoons of soy sauce. Add to mushrooms and stir quickly over heat.
Remove from heat. Add tspn of butter.
Serve.

You can't taste the soy sauce but it adds something to the mushrooms. They are more mushroomy.

1 tbsp cornflour to 2 tbsp soy sauce? That doesn't sound right. Do you perhaps mean 1 tsp cornflour? Or is there meant to be some other liquid?

Naru would love to see the mushroom pate recipe, if you have time to post :-)Quote ruby19

Mushroom Pate
1 onion finely chopped
150-200g mushrooms chopped (portabello/flats are best but buttons will do)
1-2 cloves garlic crushed, more if you like garlic
1 teasp beef stock powder or stock cube
½ cup water
½ teasp each dried Thyme and tarragon
¼ teasp ground nutmeg
1 spring onion chopped
¼-½ cup finely chopped walnuts (I use ½ cup as we like walnuts)
S&P to taste
1 tablsp chopped parsley
1 tablsp Butter for frying
In frypan melt butter, cook onion & garlic until softened, add mushrooms, spring onion, stock powder water, dried herbs & spice, stir. Cook until mushrooms are soft and most of the stock has gone, just enough to keep it moist, season with S&P to taste. Put into processor and process until smooth. Add walnuts and parsley and stir to combine. Put into pots and keep in fridge. It also freezes well, just needs a stir upon thawing.
I usually use beef stock instead of stock powder & water. Also good with ½ cup minced beef added to mix and cook as above.

We like them sliced and cooked in butter as a vegetable, seasoned with salt and white pepper, plain and simple... Or you could fry chopped bacon and sliced onion first, then add your sliced mushies, and have on toast with a couple of eggs

Lovely recipes, will try some of these, and the mushroom pate sounds very nice thanks. I recently tried this recipe with mushrooms, a creamy whiskey sauce. Was really lovely and I don't like whiskey! Am vegan so I used Kara coconut cream as it is so thick and much better than the other ones. Nice on toast, or over whatever you choose,

Mushrooms and Creamy Whiskey Sauce

2 1/2 T butter
4 shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 beef stock cube (vegetarian/vegan's can use Massels brand of stocks)
(I used a little water to dissolve the stock)
1 1/4 oz whiskey
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 t lemon juice
1 T flatleaf parsley

Heat medium frypan and melt the butter. Add shallots and cook 2-3 mins or untill softened. Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 5 mins, stirring often. Break up the bullion cube and sprinkle over the pan. Stir. Add the whiskey and cook for 1 min, then add 1/2 cup water and boil for another minute. Stir in the cream, lemon juice and parsley and bring to the boil. Cook 2-3 mins until thickened. S&P to season.

I do mushrooms in a very similar way (no stock cube) & they are delicious ...somehow the whisky seems to bring out the flavour.
