Mushrooms

Hi, I've a big pack of mushrooms that need using up can anyone give me some good ideas? Especially ones which will freeze (Can I freeze raw mushrooms on their own?).

I'm cooking a gammon joint later so will make a pie with some, but we are out all day tommorow at a theme park and I don't think the mushrooms will be up to much by wednesday evening, lol!

I have one veggie and three eat -pretty -much -everythingers and 4 so fussy we may as well ignore them :rotfl:

The amount I have is one of the big basics packs, less a handful.

How aboout garlic breaded mushrooms ? You could make them ,freeze on a tray then bag up when frozen.
Or just fry them up lay on a tray to freeze then break them up and bag them?e them in casserols ,on HM pizza etc?

How about mushroom pate? Really easy to make and yummy in sandwiches/on toast.

Slice them, saute them in a little butter or oil, cool and freeze in portions. They freeze much better sauteed and they don't take up as much room.

I freeze mine in bags and they are ok

Mushrooms vol-u-vents

make some veggie pizzas with some other left over veggies and freeze them

mushroom tarts (can make these when making the pies)

Ham & Mushroom Soup

By the way Lakeland do a cloth Mushroom Bag that stops them from going slimy. The mushrooms keep quite a lot longer than normal.

Thanks all, some great ideas there, I've sliced them up and frozen them as I ran out of time this afternoon

I noticed you've already frozen them but I cook mine first as they are REALLY soggy when defrosted and they are raw.
