Alan_R Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You could make a mean mushroom stroganoff! or garlic sauteed with some tagliatelle might be nice. I love mushrooms, all kinds. Do you grow them yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Has been a poor year for mushrooms so far - too cold - but I am working my way through one of these monsters! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_puffball Am getting a bit bored with Giant Puffball steaks - anyone any recipe ideas? 1 Large Puffball (20-40cm in diameter) oil for frying 1 small onion, finely chopped breast meat from 1 pigeon, chopped 500g mushrooms dash of wine a tablespoon each of parsely, sage and thyme, finely chopped 4-5 potatos, parboiled and roughly chopped knob of butter salt and pepper Cut the top off the puffball and hollow it out, leaving the sides base at least 5cm thick (or it will collapse) Roughly chop the flesh you have removed. Heat up a Wok with the oil. Sweat the onion first and then fry the pigeon breast for few minutes. Dump in the mushrooms and add salt to draw out the water. If the pan dries out, add the wine. Simmer until the mushrooms are cooked, then tip it all out on to a warm plate. Add more oil and quickly fry off the puffball flesh before adding the onion/pigeon mix along with the potatoes and chopped herbs. Mix everything together well, adding seasoning to taste. Fill the empty puffball with the mixture and put the lid back on. Smear the outside with the butter and wrap it completely in tin foil. Bake at 190C for 2 hours.
