Serving Suggestions

My husband likes to have some kind of meat with his meals and we add some grilled or sauteed shrimp to his dish. For me? I like to eat them as is!

These Champiñones go perfect with a side of refried beans, Mexican rice, served as tacos, with chicken, as a fill for enchiladas or as a side dish for Bistec Ranchero or even with just some crusty bread.

Another great idea is to serve as an appetizer! On top of tostadas, or a piece of sliced baguette and serve as tapas. Sooo good!

Either way you choose to serve them, they will be a hit!

Tips and Notes

  • Cleaning the mushrooms: Start by wiping the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water, as they can absorb too much moisture and become soggy.
  • Trim the tough ends of the mushroom stems if necessary, but don’t remove too much as the stems hold a lot of flavor.
  • Don’t Overcook! Button mushrooms have a high water content, so be careful not to overcook them, or they can become mushy. Cook them just until they’re tender but still have a slight firmness.

How to Store

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Let the mushrooms cool completely. Then place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating

  1. Microwave: Reheat in the microwave on high for 60-90 seconds or until warmed through.

    Grilled up a nice NY strip steak and had these on the side. Perfect! Wanted a change from the usual basic sauteed mushrooms. This may be my new go to with steaks!
