Vegetarian Mushroom Recipes

Mushrooms are another food that elicits strong opinions - most people either love them or hate them. The texture is a bit strange, and the less said about what mushrooms actually are (the fruit of a fungus which feeds on decay) the better. On the other hand, mushrooms are good for detoxifying, high in protein, and tasty, so here's a collection of vegetarian recipes that call for mushrooms.

  
Asparagus Leek Soup
A lovely, rich soup made with asparagus, leeks, and mushrooms and topped with a corn and bell pepper garnish.

Cascadilla
This dairy-based, traditional Jewish soup is light and refreshing.

Crêpes
Crêpes are thin pancakes that can be wrapped around just about anything to turn it into an elegant meal, or just folded and topped with something yummy. Try some of these fillings and toppings, or experiment to invent your own.

Crudités
A platter of crudités typically consists one or more types of raw vegetables served with one or more dips. These can be served as an appetizer, at a buffet, in place of a salad - the sky is the limit. Here are some ideas for interesting crudité platters.

Curry Burgers
Carrots, chickpeas, mushrooms, onions, and walnuts are mixed with curry for a uniquely spicy veggie burger. Delicious!

Everyone seems to love "build it yourself" meals, and fajitas are a delicous way to do this. Hot fillings and cold toppings are served with tortillas so that you can mix and match your own fajitas.

Although time-consuming, this is an easy and very delicious recipe for mock beef bourguignon made with either seitan or tempeh.

Mock Beef Stroganoff
I just love this pasta dish: a creamy sauce with mushrooms and chunks of mock meat.

Mock Chicken Chow Mein
Mock chicken chow mein (made with TVP) doesn't take long to prepare, but it does require quite a bit of cooking.

Mushrooms, barley, veggies, and chick peas make a hearty and healthy stew.

Portobello Mushroom Burgers
The great flavor of portobello mushrooms in a veggie burger.

This vegetarian shepherd's pie recipe is a simple yet delicious lambless version of the real thing.
