Mushroom Recipe FAQs
Is mushroom a veg or non-veg food?
Mushrooms are fungi, but in culinary terms, they're treated like vegetables. As they are packed with great nutrients, they're considered part of your five a day, so serve them generously!
How do you properly clean and prepare mushrooms?
Prepare your mushrooms with a delicate touch. Dip them gently in cold water, leave them for a few seconds, then pat them dry with kitchen paper. Do this before you start to chop or slice them.
How do you store fresh mushrooms?
Mushrooms like cool, dark places. It's best to keep them in a paper bag in the fridge. If you store them in a plastic bag, they're more likely to become soggy.
How long do mushrooms last in the fridge?
Whole mushrooms can last up to a week in the fridge. To keep them at their best, it's vital that they stay completely dry until the last minute. Don't wash them until you're ready to start cooking.
Can mushrooms be eaten raw?
Not all wild mushrooms can be eaten raw, but all those you'll find in an Irish supermarket are safe. Some people like to slice mushrooms and add them to a salad. The texture of raw mushroom is quite different, making it a bit of an acquired taste.
Can you freeze mushrooms?
If you want to freeze mushrooms, make sure you cook them first. Raw mushrooms are full of liquid and will just become a soggy mess if frozen. Instead of blanching them before freezing, sauté them with a bit of oil or butter for a few minutes.
