There are a ton of recipes out there for different ways to cook mushrooms.

How do you cook them? I dont want them in a dish, I just want a mushroom side dish.

Equal parts of red wie and beef stock to cover button mushrooms, a good dash of salt, a pinch of red pepper and several grinds of fresh black pepper, plus a few cloves of garlic and a few T of Wohrchestersire . Bring to a boil and then cut to a simmer for 2 hours or so. Adjust the seasonings and serve with a steak.

You can get amazing flavor out of sliced mushrooms by sauteing them in clarified butter. Don't overcrowd them (you don't want them to steam) and lightly salt them in the skillet to bring out more flavor.

Let them get good and brown (caramelized). Then, if you want, make a white roux-based sauce to pour over other veggies or just use them as is a savory side.

Lately I've been filling them with herbed cream cheese, topping with parmesan and panko bread crumbs. Broil for about 15 min

Heat app. 2 tbsp. olive oil & 3 tbsp. butter in a skillet over med-high heat. Add 2 lbs. mushrooms, season with salt, pepper, & 4 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves. Cook about 15 minutes until brown. Add 2/3 cup red wine & deglaze skillet. Add 3 tbsp. fresh, chopped parsley & remove from heat. transfer to serving dish. Really easy, but very good.

I usually cook more on weekends, when I have more time.

The mushrooms are very good with steak. I like to sear the meat then use the same pan to cook the mushrooms, deglazing it with the wine.
