Trying to improve my home cooking meals to avoid a home revolution and waiting until everyone is faminished so the dinner seems palatable, the cremini mushroom caught my eye in the produce section of the grocery store and perhaps this was the answer to my quest for better tasting and healthier meals. Here are my top 10 delicious ways to improve my Cremini Mushroom meal game and so far my family has NOT voted me off the home cooked meals island. My house key still works!
Delicious Noodles with Cremini Mushroom.
On a cold winter day, nothing like warm noodles fill your belly and create a blanket of yumminess surrounding you like a gentle hug, plus add the deliciousness of sliced Cremini Mushrooms to those noodles. I have not met any noodle or pasta which does match with Cremini Mushrooms. The versatility of Cremini Mushrooms who pair well with beef, chicken, fish and seafood, game, garlic, herbs, onions, noodles, pork, cream and wine allows excellent culinary noodle adventures with every kind of noodle and sauce across every genre of food. With these amazing attributes, Cremini Mushrooms can be added to almost every pasta dish.
Sliced Cremini Mushrooms with a hot water add to instant ramen definitely pumps up the flavor especially with small slices of green onion. If noodles in soup is your favorite on those chilly nights, add some sliced Cremini Mushrooms, because sliced versus chopped Cremini Mushrooms absorb the soup broth better and add more flavor to each bite of the mushroom. The slice maximizes the mushroom surface area to make contact with the broth and be marinated by the flavors, which creates a mini taste bud adventure with every morsel of Cremini Mushroom infused with broth. I have tried cooking Cremini Mushrooms with all kinds of Italian pastas, Japanese noodles, Thai noodles and Chinese noodles. All were yummy. Although I experimented with cold noodles and cold Cremini Mushrooms, it was not as tasty as cooked and marinated Cremini Mushrooms with warm noodles. Perhaps it was the KAPOW cooking secret of marinating the sliced Cremini Mushrooms, then cooking it in that secret sauce then adding it to the warm pasta with the sauce. Plus, I experimented with marinating Cremini Mushrooms in a separate secret sauce, cooking the Cremini Mushrooms separately, then adding to the noodles with a different sauce. It really adds the gourmet sensibilities. Enjoy the KAPOW secret!
Mouthwatering Pizza with Cremini Mushroom
Sliced Cremini Mushrooms are absolutely delicious on pizza either as a one topping or a second topping or in a medley of toppings. They are a tasty addition to a well loved family favorite without any mess. I have tried every favorite pizza topping combination with sliced Cremini Mushrooms and my taste buds were dancing a jig of delight.
As the solo topping, Cremini Mushrooms serve well on the pizza even for red, white or green pesto sauce. Cremini Mushrooms partner well in an all mushroom melody with onions, plus with sliced vegetables, chicken sausage, pork sausage, and any meat. They taste delectable in all kinds of pizza doughs, pita pocket pizzas, cauliflower crust pizzas, as an add on to Costco cheese pizzas, frozen pizzas, pizza crusts, homemade pizza dough or Naan bread turned into pizza.
Delectable Salads with Cremini Mushroom
For a spring or summer salad, raw sliced Cremini Mushrooms are a wonderful nutty tasting add. For the cooler weather, fall and winter salads, some sliced and slightly pan fried Cremini Mushrooms will give a warm nutty and dense flavor to accent the fresh, raw vegetables, plus texture to the dish. Cremini mushrooms are very tasty in salads. Often I will marinate the sliced Cremini Mushrooms for a few minutes in my chosen salad dressing before adding to the crisp vegetable greens and then dress my salad. This technique gives the Cremini Mushrooms an extra boost of flavor and highlights the salad’s overall taste bud journey with a simple and easy task.
During fall and winter, I find the combination of quick pan fried sliced Cremini Mushrooms with nuts and thinly sliced red onions with a spot of the selected salad dressing, which then are added as toppings for the fresh green salad with chopped fresh apples make a yummy symphony of flavors packed with nutrition. Cremini Mushrooms don’t miss a beat in this flavor dance.
Excellent Wholesome Eggs with Cremini Mushroom
I love cooking omelettes with Cremini Mushroom for a weekend brunch or for a quick dinner on a busy work week. Because Cremini Mushroom has a slightly earthy flavor and texture it balances well against whipped eggs, sausage, chopped onions, ham, diced heirloom tomatoes, green garlic tops, sliced red onions, diced red, orange & yellow peppers, cheese or non-dairy cheese such as almond, cashew or soy cheese. For extra zip and zing, I will add thinly chopped jalapeno or both red pepper flakes or Mexican chorizo.Plus a dash of oregano, thyme, chives or chopped basil accentuates some complexity to this delish dance with Cremini Mushroom.
If the work week is super hectic, a Spanish egg tart in the sauce pan, adorned with sliced Cremini Mushrooms, garden fresh sliced ruby red tomatoes and sprinkled with green herbs for garnish and a few slices of gooey melted cheese will do for dinner. To boost your healthy greens, I sneak in some spinach hidden under the slices of melted,mouth watering cheese or non- dairy cheese. Salt and pepper to taste and I usually serve with either sliced avocado with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a dash of salsa. The Cremini Mushrooms adds a deep flavor plus great nutrition without many calories. It’s like that awesome, homemade costume for the neighborhood costume party.
To Die For Dim Sum with Cremini Mushroom
Cremini Mushrooms pair well with beef, chicken, fish and seafood, game, garlic, herbs, onions, noodles, pork, rice, and wine. With these amazing attributes, Cremini Mushrooms can be added to almost every Asian dish to add additional flavor, nutritional boost and more beautiful presentation. I have found adding Cremini Mushroom to fillings with other mushrooms or chicken or pork or beef mixtures very savory and delicious. Cremini Mushrooms absorb sauces and marinades well, so they can be used to emphasize different flavors as you design your dim sum or dumpling or noodles or rice tamales. It adds more notes and can be used to highlight the flavors you want accented in the journey of the dim sum experience. It’s like the big flashlight shining out the pathway in the middle of the night.
