Mushroom Recipe Roundup (109 vegan recipes using mushrooms)

Why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he's a fun-guy!


I asked the Meal Mentor Facebook group which ingredient collection I should do next and mushrooms were the most requested!


I was shocked when I realized there were 165 total recipes in the app using mushrooms!


TBH, mushrooms were an ingredient I thought I hated and would never eat until I was vegan/plant-based.


I first tried mushrooms in a gravy, which is still my absolute favorite way to eat them!


How I Use Mushrooms:


I typically use portobello mushrooms to replace big chunks of meat (e.g. steak tips, bacon) and ground up brown mushrooms to replace ground beef in things like Bolognese sauce or chili. Oyster mushrooms are also a great replacement for seafood.


Mushrooms on the Meal Plans:


Since mushrooms can be a little pricy at times (Walmart usually has a good price) and I know some people truly hate mushrooms, I try not to use mushrooms more than once on the weekly 7-day plans.


Substitutions:


If you have tried mushrooms a few different ways and still don't like them, zucchini and eggplant can often stand in for mushrooms. Tofu, tempeh, seitan, walnuts, chickpeas, and lentils may also work.

Below is a mostly comprehensive list of all MM recipes that use mushrooms. I say "mostly" because I'm not including pizza recipes (e.g. cauliflower crust pizza, ultimate cheese pizzas) or pizza-like recipes (e.g. pizza burrito) where mushrooms could be a topping/filling.


You can find ALL of these recipes in the app - search by their name :)

P.S. Chickpeas and greens were also top requests so I'll be doing those too, along with bell peppers :)
