Maitake Mushroom

Fresh herbs, loads of noodles, and a glorious amount of brown butter make this mushroom-packed rice pilaf main course-worthy.

When Thanksgiving demands green bean casserole but your jam-packed oven has other plans, opt for this buttery stovetop version.

Mushrooms marinated in yogurt to crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside perfection meet a toasty naan-like flatbread in this surprisingly simple recipe you can cook entirely on the grill.

Choose your mushrooms carefully: Crimini and white button will never get as crispy as oyster or maitakes.

This gluten-free stuffing has all the familiar aromatics and flavors baked right into cornbread batter, resulting in a crunchy, craggly, super-savory side dish.

If you’ve ever tried maitake mushrooms, then you already know this, but they have an unbelievably rich flavor and aroma of piney forest floor and fresh fallen leaves. This recipe celebrates everything we love about them.

You can use this foolproof steaming method to cook any sturdy fish—salmon, snapper, black cod, or arctic char would all be great.

Faster than delivery, and about 10x more delicious.

Great with any mushroom you can find (crimini, white button, etc.), but excellent with some morels, porcinis, or chanterelles into the mix.

You don’t have to peel asparagus (unless you really want to!); just leave any thicker spears in the pan for an extra minute.

This will take you back to the flavor of all those canned cream-of-mushroom-soup-based casseroles, but without all the weird ingredients!

Hearty, satisfying, and easy: Bulk it up with more mushrooms. Cut the entire recipe in half. Whatever suits you.

Meaty mushrooms compliment nutty, chewy grains in this savory dish.

Our idea of magic mushrooms is crisp, golden (legal) substances with the power to lend a bass note of flavor to grain salads, turn a piece of ricotta toast into a meal, or stand alone as a savory side. 

The nutty, woodsy mushrooms play up the sweetness of the carrots. Memorize the dressing—it’s great on pretty much everything.

Maitake mushrooms are a tasty addition to this meatless meal. Cooking them until they are crisp around the edges will give them a delicate crunch.
