• Mushroom Magic

  Autumn brings us wild as well as cultivated mushrooms. Whereas only those who really know what they are looking should pick wild mushrooms, we are lucky that many varieties are now available commercially, especially at Farmers' Markets.

  From simple (on toast) to pies and ragout with pasta - here are some great mushroom ideas.
  

• 

  Mushroom & Leek Risotto

  The great thing about risotto is you can add almost anything to them and have a great one pot dinner in about 20mins. This is a vegetarian risotto using mushrooms, leek, onion, pumpkin and zucchini but you could easily add bacon or pancetta or chicken if you want. Risottos really aren't hard to make ... they just need a bit of attention and stirring for about 15 minutes.

• 

  Mushroom Ragout Pasta

  Autumn is the season for a variety of interesting mushrooms. This recipe uses King Brown (also know as King Oyster / Eryngii mushrooms) and fresh Shitake mushrooms and it's worth looking for them at your local market or greengrocer. However, you could substitute another "meaty" variety such as Portobello or Field mushrooms. Use a creamy, rather than a dry, feta for this recipe

• 

  Mushroom Sauce

  Creamy mushrooms sauce, great to be poured over BBQ sirloin

• 

  Mushroom & Spinach Stirfry

  Shiitake mushrooms are available in most good supermarkets or greengrocers. We have suggested serving this with brown rice - this takes approx 20-30 minutes to cook, so start the rice cooking before cooking the stir fry. You can always substitute white rice if you would prefer.

• 

  Mushroom Tart & Pumpkin Salad

  A great recipe using Swiss Brown mushrooms which are at their best in autumn.

• 

  Mushrooms on turkish toast

  This is a great breakfast dish or light lunch option which takes only a few minutes to prepare

• 

  Stuffed Mushroom

  Try and find large portobello mushrooms for this recipe as they are quite "meaty" - otherwise the largest flat mushroom available. If you don't like anchovies, replace with 2 rashers of bacon that have been grilled till crisp and crumbled. Or leave them out altogether for a wholly vegetarian dish and adjust seasoning to compensate.

• 

  Swiss Brown Mushrooms on Puff Pastry

  A warm appetiser or light meal that makes the most of delicious Swiss Brown Mushrooms

• 

  Beef & Mushroom Pie

  Here's a great autumn / winter staple. If you haven't made a pie before, they really are very easy and you can add / change ingredients to suit what's in your fridge or at the local markets. The filling can be prepared ahead of time.

• 

  Shitake Mushroom Stirfry

  Coupled with eggplant and beef (400g is plenty for 4), the dried and soaked shitake mushrooms make this is a quick . tasty week night meal.
