Ingredients for mushroomix stew:

• 200g Oyster mushrooms (pleurotus)
• 100g Shiitake mushroom
• 100g Shimeji mushroom
• 100g Champignon mushroom
• 1 small carrot
• 1/2 leek
• 2 scallions
• 6 garlic scapes or 1 green garlic (if season, if not, use 3 cloves of garlic)
• 50g butter
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
• add a bit of salt (i do not used any)
• 1 dl of water (if needed)
• parsley leaves

Instructions:

First steps:

Clean and chop the carrots, leek, scallions, and garlic into small pieces, followed by the mushrooms (for which i use the word mushroomix) and parsley leaves.

Next, grease a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to brown the chopped vegetables and mushroomix.

Next steps:

First, stir and brown the carrots, leek, and scallions for 5 minutes. Then, add the garlic and mushrooms, and continue stirring and browning over high heat for another 5 minutes. Next, add the butter and all of the spices, stirring carefully. Reduce the heat, cover the frying pot with a lid, and let it steam for 7 minutes, until the mushrooms soften. If necessary, add a bit of water.

Using butter while cooking mushrooms adds a rich and savory flavor to the dish, enhancing its overall taste and texture.

Butter helps to caramelize the mushrooms, giving them a delicious golden brown color and a deeper, more complex flavor profile. Additionally, butter provides moisture to the mushrooms, ensuring that they remain tender and juicy during the cooking process. Its natural fats also help to carry and distribute the flavors of any herbs or seasonings added to the dish, resulting in a more flavorful and aromatic final product.

Overall, incorporating butter into your mushroom stew can elevate the dish to new heights of culinary delight.

Last steps:

Check if the mushrooms are softened. The consistency should not be watery. If they are softened, add the parsley leaves, stir quickly, and remove the pan from the stove. If they are not yet softened, let them steam and brown for a few more minutes without the lid.

Serve the mushroomix stew plain or with potatoes. It can also be served alongside roasted meats or other main dishes.

KLAR APPÉTIT!

Attention! This mushroomix stew recipe is intended for individuals without allergies or intolerances. It is not recommended for toddlers. Please avoid consuming strong alcoholic beverages before and after preparing this dish, as it may lead to indigestion.

For an alternative version of my mushroom mix stew recipe, consider using wild mushrooms for a more robust and flavorful dish. While wild mushrooms can add a unique and earthy taste to the stew, it’s essential to exercise caution when foraging and selecting them, as some varieties can be toxic if consumed.

However, when properly identified and prepared, wild mushrooms can elevate the stew to new culinary heights. They bring a depth of flavor and complexity that can’t be matched by cultivated varieties. To ensure a safe and enjoyable culinary experience with wild mushrooms, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with proper foraging techniques and mushroom identification.
