    Lots and Lots of mushrooms- help with ideas

    So we got given an entire box of mushroom and I have no idea what to do with them. DF isn't a huge mushroom eater, I love them but also couldn't sit down to a plate full of them by themselves.

    So help me with some ideas, what can I do with them??? I've already shared wtih the neighbours too.

    TIA

    Probably not hugely original...but I looove mushroom sauce on steak or chicken.
    Saute garlic & mushrooms until tender, add some vege stock or beef stock, simmer, cream, maybe a bit of wine.... mmmmmm
    Sometimes some parsley & sundried tomatoes as well...

    Cream of mushroom soup? I think that is able to be frozen.
    A really mushroomy beef or chicken stroganoff.

    mushroom risotto - make a big batch and freeze some.

    Stuffed mushrooms (depending on what type they are).

    baked mushrooms! My favourite way to eat mushrooms!

    Throw your mushies in a backing dish, cover with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    throw in some garlic cloves, basil and rosemary.

    Cover with a lid or tinfoil and bake for about 20/30 mins...

    They come out all sticky and yummy...hmmmm... Can be a bit better in warmer season with Roasts though...

    whats mushroom mousaka?
    It's a layered dish with layers of tomato/mushroom mix, potato, eggplant and covered with white sauce.

    Mushroom Moussaka

    1 eggplant, cut into 1cm slices
    1 large potato, cut into 1cm slices

    30g butter
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic
    500g mushrooms, sliced
    400g can chopped tomatoes

    40g butter
    1/3 cup plain flour
    2 cups milk
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    40g grated parmesan

    brush the eggplant and potato slices with oil and bake in oven 220*c for 20-30 mins.

    melt butter, add onion and garlic and cook 3-4mins. add mushrooms cook 2-3 mins on high while stirring. add tomato, reduce heat and simmer 8 mins or until reduced.

    make white sauce: melt butter, add flour cook for 1 min. remove from heat and and gradually stir in milk. return to heat and stir constantly until it boils & thickens. reduce heat and simmer 2 mins. remove from heat, cool slightly and stir in egg & parmesan.

    grease a shallow 1.5L ovenproof dish. spoon 1/3 mushroom mix into base. cover with potato. top with next 1/3 mushroom mix then layer eggplant. finish with remaining mushroom mix, pout on white sauce and smooth top.

    bake for 30-35 mins or until edges bubble.

    leave for 10 mins before serving.

    yum yum yum
