Mushrooms can do so much more than add color to a salad
Mushroom Council research says heavy consumers buy 73% of fresh mushroom volume as cooks use moisture, browning and scraps for deeper flavor.
- National Mushroom Day, Oct. 15, highlights mushroom versatility as Mushroom Council research published this month reveals heavy consumers buy 73% of fresh mushroom volume.
- Mushrooms are about 90% water, a moisture level closer to cucumber, requiring cooks to manipulate moisture through techniques that either exploit it for braises or eliminate it to concentrate flavor.
- Simmer stems and scraps for about 30 minutes to create stock, or use dried Shiitake powder to add savory depth, as drying concentrates mushroom flavor more efficiently than fresh approaches.
- Duxelles, a French preparation, creates a concentrated, dark mass after cooking mushrooms for 20 minutes or more, while compound butter allows cooks to finish proteins like steak with similar concentrated flavors.
- Restaurants drop crispy Maitake or Shiitake mushrooms onto finished dishes at the last second for contrast and savory punch, a technique requiring only a very hot pan and patience to produce chip-like texture.
