Mushrooms are arguably the meatiest vegetable, bringing earthiness, umami, and depth of flavor to any dish. This list of 9+ Best Mushrooms Recipes celebrates the tasty delicacy in so many fun ways and forms!

Green Tip: Organic farms rely on biodiversity to generate rich soil, avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilizers, which means no toxic runoff. Consider organic mushrooms for these recipes.

As an environmental scientist, I’m always looking for ways to make eco-friendly produce shine!

Mushrooms are not only delicious but considered sustainable food. They have a relatively small environmental footprint as they take little water and energy to grow and emit little CO2.

Below you will find all my favorite mushroom recipes from portobello mushrooms to oyster mushrooms, and a bunch of varieties in between!

Instructions
 

  • Slice your onion thin (see post section above for detailed instructions) and add it to a frying pan with your oil or butter on medium heat.
  • Rinse, dry, and slice your mushrooms.
  • Continue to sautee the onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spatula or wooden spoon, until the onion starts to brown around the edges.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and mix well, so that the mushrooms are evenly distributed throughout the onion slices.
  • Leave the onions and mushrooms over medium heat for 5-8 minutes without stirring to allow for caramelizing process to occur.
  • Once the onions and mushrooms are golden brown on the bottom, stir a couple of times to turn them, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, allowing them to caramelize on both sides.
  • Add salt to taste (optional) and serve hot as a side or topping to any savory dish!

Pro Tips

  • Use 1 tablespoon of butter or oil per 1 onion and 8 ounces mushrooms. If you are halving the recipe, use 2 teaspoons of oil or butter.
  • To reheat, just add the caramelized onions and mushrooms back to your frying pan over medium heat until they are heated completely through, about 5-8 minutes.
