Our favourite mushroom recipes to make this week
This incredibly versatile vegetable is our top ingredient to use right now!
Mushrooms are the top vegetable to eat right now. Not only do they have many health benefits, are a fantastic meat substitute owing to their meaty like texture, but they're also great for the planet and so in turn great for us.
Some of our top highlights below include the enoki miso ramen which heroes all the wonderful flavours and textures of mushrooms and our wild mushroom and mortadella pizza bianca that takes just 30min to make. If you're looking to take your mushrooms outside and cook them on the BBQ, then we couldn't recommend our oyster mushroom shawarma more.
There are so many wonderful mushroom varieties out there, so get searching and start experimenting in the kitchen!
Polenta with cavolo nero and buttery mushrooms recipe
This quick dish looks impressive but is easy to make. Swap the cavolo nero for any dark greens. If you can’t find exotic mushrooms, use chestnut mushrooms.
Mushroom and shallot bourguignon galette recipe
Echoing the flavour of our venison main – plus it works brilliantly with the Horseradish Crème Fraîche.
Enoki miso ramen recipe

Wild mushroom and butternut squash lasagne recipe
A saucy vegetable-based alternative to a traditional lasagne. If catering for vegetarians, omit the pancetta and swap the Parmesan for vegetarian hard cheese instead (making sure to check your pesto is vegetarian-friendly too)
Pearled spelt and mushroom ‘risotto’ recipe
Pearled spelt makes such a great alternative to rice in this umami-rich 'risotto' and it's better for the planet, too!
Teriyaki mushroom maki roll recipe
Be sure to use teriyaki sauce (the thickened kind) here, rather than teriyaki marinade (both are sold in supermarkets). We used Blue Dragon.

Wild mushroom, cranberry and hazelnut vegetarian sausage plait recipe
A delicious vegetarian centrepiece that everyone will enjoy. It’s easy to make this vegan-friendly too, just use a dairy-free puff pastry and brush with vegan mayo rather than egg. If you want to make this meaty, swap the veggie sausages for a good quality pork sausage.
