Update and Redux: C – Marinated mushrooms are still one of my favorite ways to eat mushrooms. After trying it a few more times, I think marinating the mixture for up to a week really gets the mushrooms more flavorful. If you don’t like cold mushrooms, place them in a pan and reheat. It’s a delicious side dish.
C — I can’t believe people who don’t like mushrooms.
They think its disgusting that its a fungus. It’s too slimy when you cook it. Oh well, more for me. I love mushrooms. They’re one of those things that has such a variety of flavors.
Shiitaki mushrooms have this strong smell and taste. They can really make a soup distinguishing. Button and crimini can absorb any flavors you add to them. They’re almost always in the fridge. Portabellos can be made into burger patties. Its such a good filler when you don’t have enough ground meat. Oh, and the price can range in so many ways you can’t believe it.
Well this is, hands down, my favorite recipe for mushrooms. I love this stuff. Marinated mushrooms with tarragon. I was mad at Jim last year for planting more tarragon. I didn’t know what to do with it. It was growing like a weed.
So I found a recipe and decided to put my own spin on it. It turned out to be really good. I made it weekly. I then got mad at Jim for not planting more tarragon. As you can see, Jim will never win trying to satisfy me.
