How to Cook Frozen Mushrooms?
-
Frozen mushrooms are best used in dishes such as soups, casseroles or stews, or as a topping for pizza. You can also add frozen mushrooms to dishes that need to be cooked but not cooked in the oven, such as pasta, rice or quinoa, by adding them to the grains as they boil and cook.
How to cook frozen mushrooms
An easy way to cook frozen mushrooms
Step 1
Place a pan over medium heat. Heating an empty pan will make it easier for the fat to break up and reduce the likelihood of sticking. If you are using a nonstick pan, spray it with nonstick spray before placing it on the burner; this helps protect the nonstick coating.
Step 2
Place the butter in the pan and rotate the pan so that the butter melts on the bottom. Cook the butter until it stops bubbling and smells a little nutty. It helps to use room temperature butter; it melts much faster. The liquid in room-temperature butter is also less likely to burn while you wait for the solids in the butter to liquefy.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms to the melted butter. You don't have to thaw the mushrooms before cooking them; they naturally contain a lot of water, and adding that little bit of ice won't make much difference. Using a splash screen box of water can cause butter to splatter, which can burn your hands or face.
Step 4
Cook the mushrooms, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated, then add the green onions and cook for a few more minutes. The mushrooms are done when the shallots are translucent, there is no visible moisture and the mushrooms have darkened in color. Do not let them turn black; you are looking at medium brown. Black mushrooms are burned mushrooms.
Step 5
Garnish and serve. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving platter and sprinkle the parsley over the top. Serve while still warm.
Can you use frozen mushrooms on your pizza?
Pizza is cooked at high temperatures, so pre-cooked mushrooms tend to be overcooked. There's no need to pre-cook them, even if you're adding a lot. I always buy whole mushrooms and slice them myself; pre-sliced mushrooms will dry out and won't taste as fresh.
What is the healthiest way to cook mushrooms?
Researchers have concluded that the best way to cook mushrooms while maintaining their nutritional properties is to grill or microwave them, as fried and boiled mushrooms show significantly less antioxidant activity.
