Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods. I bought some recently on a trip to the store, though I had no idea what would become of them.
The next day I took out one of my favorite cookbooks, A Cook’s Book of Mushrooms and began to flip through the pages. I found a great recipe, made a few changes (replacing sugar with stevia, etc.) and whipped it up for dinner. Although it looks complicated and has a few steps, this recipe is quick, easy and ultra-satisfying.
My husband loved this dish and my younger son also thought it was great. I enjoyed it too.
Are there any mushroom dishes that you like to make or do you have a favorite mushroom dish that you would like to see on this blog?

Samantha,
Thanks for your comment and for your suggestions.
The lemon bars, brownies and zucchini bread are featured in my forthcoming cookbook; in terms of the pudding, you might want to check out my pumpkin custard and chocolate mousse recipes they are very pudding-like. I will add your request for ice cream to my list.
Thanks,
Elana
Dear Elana,
Thank you for the effort you make by sharing your wonderful recipes. A while back you asked for recipes people would like to see. I have a few:
lemon bars, brownies, zucchini bread, pudding, and ice cream. Our family can’t have any coconut.
Every time I cook one of your recipes it turns out great, so thanks again!
Hayley -Your stuffed apple dish sounds delicious.
Alchemille -Thanks for your comment; hope you are well. Love that you are growing your own portobellos!
Emily -Right now I’m living on quite a lot of salmon that a friend caught himself in Alaska and gave to us; I link to Astraya Stevia as that’s the best one that I’ve found, though that doesn’t mean there aren’t other good ones out there. Funny about the grapeseed extract, I’ve taken it straight before –it is sometimes used as a natural anti-fungal.
Shirley -Thanks for another great comment.
Margaret -Thanks for your comment.
I avoid all peppers but will try the mushrooms the next time I buy salmon. I usually buy Alaska fresh-caught.
I could eat that dish right now! I love salmon any time and this dish is a gorgeous, healthy meal. (I love roasted peppers, too.) My husband does not like salmon very much, but he is a fanatic about mushrooms … maybe this recipe would make the salmon more palatable for him? ;-) Our son is a big salmon fan as well. I will try this soon. Thanks, Elana!
This sounds scrumptious! Salmon is so expensive here though… do you buy fresh?
Is there a reason why you recommend the brand of stevia liquid linked? I use Sweetleaf SteviaClear Liquid but have recently heard the grapefruit seed extract in it can be harmful. Any thoughts?
I love salmon and I love mushrooms. I think that you can’t go wrong when you cook them together.
I’m currently growing my own portobello mushrooms, they taste better (I find even somewhat sweet) than the ones from the farmers market.
Your salmon look beautiful! As for your mushroom inquiry, I make a stuffed-apple dish that my family loves, and of course I add them to any stir-fry dish I make, they are so tasty when nice and brown. You can check out the stuffed-apples here…
