Baby Bellas

[earnie]

I just picked up 10 pounds of baby bellas from the Monterey Mushroom plant and am searching archives for yummy recipes. I know I won't be able to use all while they are perfect and I will share with friends here but I would like to saute, puree and freeze some for soups later. Any tips? Do they freeze well?

Earnie,

I just found this searching on "freezing mushrooms".

Looks like you can preserve them for future use.

When looking for recipes, also search on crimini which is their other name.

Thanks Judy & Charlie

I will saute and freeze. Thanks to you both.

I keep a container of sauteed mushrooms in the freezer

and use them for all sorts of things. I tend to cut them a little thicker as they hold up a little better that way. Or quarter, halve or cook whole and freeze.

So smart... (Note to self!)

me too, save them while they are pretty. also keep carmalized onion in freezer

Nan, do you think this would work if kept in ice cube trays (sealed)?

This, and the baby 'bellas tip, is excellent. smileys/smile.gif
