My local shop must've made a mistake in their labelling because oyster mushrooms were selling at the same price as regular ones:D Needless to say I bought 2 bags full and now I'm wondering what to do with them.
I've thought of the simple classic fried in olive oil (or butter) and garlic, or of throwing them in a risotto, or making an omelette out of them, but I thought maybe someone had a more imaginative suggestion (that doesn't involve nuking them from orbit or killing them with fire, please;))?
Time isn't an issue cause I woke up half an hour ago and I'm going to have breakfast before I even decide how to cook them:D
 
Mushroom stroganoff

1-2 onions cut in half and sliced, fry in a drop of olive oil til soft
Add some sliced mushrooms (any up to 1lb)
Salt and pepper to taste
A teaspoon of paprika
Add a glass of red wine and reduce by a half
Take off the heat and add a small tub of sour cream.
Back on the heat to get up to the boil again

Serve with chips or rice :)
 
Boil some new potatoes (cut in half so you get chunks about as big as the end bit of your thumb - tip to first joint...)) and set to one side.

Prepare a rocket salad with some chargrilled peppers.

Pour a good splash of olive oil into a smoking hot pan, add the potatoes, when they start to brown, add some rosemary twigs and the mushrooms (cut in half) - as soon as the mushrooms start to soften, drizzle the mushrooms, potatoes and oil over the salad.

Serve and eat.

Just had a small fraction of them in an omelette for breakfast and it helped whet my appetite no end! ;)
