Choose your favorite mushrooms, from button mushrooms to portobello mushrooms, and cook up a delicious dinner tonight.

Mapo tofu with mushrooms

Although this Sichuan dish is traditionally made with ground pork, most of its flavor and texture comes from the spicy bean paste, soft tofu, and, of course, Sichuan peppercorns. So, you can easily substitute mushrooms for the meat without sacrificing flavor. This vegan version of mapo tofu is made with dried shiitake mushrooms. If you can't find dried ones, use fresh shiitake or brown button mushrooms. Serve mapo tofu with white rice, which quickly soaks up the delicious sauce, making it a delicious dish.

Shiitake Mushroom Adobo

Adobo is a traditional Filipino dish typically made with chicken or pork. This vegetarian version replaces the meat with shiitake mushrooms, which give the adobo a meaty texture and rich flavor.

Fried mushrooms with lemon pepper

The vibrant and interesting flavor combination of lemon pepper will transform the already rich flavor of mushrooms, elevating them to a whole new level. And you don't need to buy a special seasoning. Finely grate the lemon zest and sprinkle it over the mushrooms while frying. Then, add plenty of black pepper and fry until the mushrooms are evenly browned. Top with green onions and serve the fried mushrooms as an appetizer or as a side dish with meat or chicken.

Stuffed mushroom caps in an air fryer

Mushroom steaks

The natural umami flavor of eryngii mushrooms combined with a piquant red wine sauce makes this dish very similar to steak, only without the meat.

Before frying, score the cut sides of the mushrooms to allow the marinade to penetrate better. Mushroom steaks can be served as a vegetarian main dish or as a side dish with meat and poultry.
