Italian Mushrooms Recipes

ITALIAN MARINATED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Boil vinegar and water.
• Wash, clean mushrooms. If small, leave whole. If large, cut and quarter, slice them so they are not too big.
• Cook for 5 minutes.
• Drain liquid. I like to squeeze out some of the liquid out of mushrooms. Place in quart size glass jar, add garlic, spices and drizzle of oil. Shake it up and refrigerate. Can stay up to two weeks if they last that long.

ITALIAN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, layer mushrooms and onion. Combine butter and salad dressing mix; pour over vegetables. Cover and cook on low until vegetables are tender, 4-5 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon.

ITALIAN-SEASONED STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Remove stems from mushrooms. Chop stems and set aside. Brush caps with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet with the open sides up.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning; cook for 2 minutes. Add mushroom stems and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
• Add crushed saltines, Asiago cheese, and ricotta cheese to the onion-mushroom mixture and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each mushroom cap with a spoonful of the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are tender and filling is bubbling slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.

MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH ITALIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the oil until they start to become tender. Add the mushrooms, and fry until they begin to shrink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the spinach, and fry, stirring constantly for a few minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
• Add the vinegar, stirring constantly until it is absorbed, then stir in the white wine. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the wine has almost completely absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

SLOW-COOKER ITALIAN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over mushrooms. Cook, covered, on low until mushrooms are tender, 5-6 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon.

ITALIAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180°C.
• Brush off any dirt from mushrooms, remove and finely chop stems and put caps aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet and add chopped stems, onion, pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes, until onions have softened.
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. If mixture seems a bit dry, add a little more olive oil.
• With your hands, fill mushroom caps with mixture. Place on oiled baking sheet with lip or jellyroll pan. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil onto each mushroom.
• Bake 15-20 minutes until golden and hot.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

ITALIAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish with oil. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, fennel, tomatoes, and garlic. Sauté until stems and fennel are tender and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes; transfer to medium bowl. Cool 10 minutes. Mix in cheeses, then basil. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in egg. Arrange mushroom caps in prepared dish, cavity side up. Brush mushroom cavities lightly with additional oil. Mound filling in mushroom cavities, pressing to adhere. Bake until mushrooms are tender and filling is heated through, about 25 minutes, and serve.
