3 Simple Ways to Use Homegrown Chestnut Mushrooms

Last week I shared with you pictures of my bumper Chestnut mushroom crop.  This was my first time trying this variety of mushroom and I found three delicious ways to use them. (click HERE to view the Chestnut Mushroom post).

Adding to Pasta Sauce

I began by chopping half of an onion.  Then, in a little olive oil (in a medium size frying pan) I sauteed the chopped onion with 2 cups of the Chestnut mushrooms for about 4 minutes.  Now, pour the sauteed mushrooms & onion into pasta sauce and warm.  Pour over your favorite pasta & ENJOY!

In a "Scramblette"

A "scramblette" is a scrambled omelette (click HERE to view how to make a Scramblette).  In this simple scramblette I added 2 cups of Chestnut mushrooms and half of a chopped, sauteed onion.  Final touch is to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top & ENJOY!

Finally, my favorite is to make my mushroom gravy recipe (click HERE to view) using Chestnut mushrooms and pour over homemade "Yooper" (somebody from the Upper Penninsula Michigan) pasty (recipe which I have not shared on this blog yet).

The Chestnut mushroom keeps it's firm texture even when cooked for a while and has a delicate nutty flavor.  ENJOY!
