Mushrooms Flat, 1kg

Flat Mushrooms 1kg are 1kg of flat mushrooms – the large, open-capped mushroom with a full, deep flavour and a meaty texture. Flat mushrooms are the fully mature form of the chestnut mushroom. As a result, they have a more concentrated, earthy flavour and a dense, satisfying texture. Furthermore, at 1kg this is a generous quantity for cooking, grilling and making the most of their large, versatile cap.

About Flat Mushrooms 1kg

We source our fresh mushrooms from specialist growers and foragers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its condition, freshness and flavour. As a result, the mushrooms we deliver meet a standard far above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, wild mushrooms follow the seasons strictly – they appear when the conditions are right and disappear just as quickly. However, this seasonality is precisely what makes them so special. In particular, a mushroom picked at its peak from the right habitat carries a depth of flavour that cultivated varieties cannot replicate. Additionally, we work with suppliers who understand this and handle every mushroom with the care it deserves. A short supply chain from forest floor to your kitchen makes all the difference. That is why Flat Mushrooms 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Flat Mushrooms 1kg From Us

Cooking with wild and specialty mushrooms transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to supermarket button mushrooms, these varieties carry a depth of flavour, aroma and texture that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, heat and fat are the two essentials for cooking mushrooms well. We use a very hot pan with good butter or olive oil. However, the single most common mistake is overcrowding the pan. In particular, mushrooms release moisture when heated – if the pan is too full, they steam rather than fry. Moreover, cooking in small batches over high heat produces a golden, caramelised result that steaming never achieves. Additionally, seasoning only at the end of cooking is important. Salt draws out moisture and can prevent the browning that develops flavour.

How to Cook Flat Mushrooms 1kg

To get the very best from Flat Mushrooms 1kg:

• Grill cap-side down under a hot grill for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and grill for a further 3 to 4 minutes until completely tender.
• Fry in batches in hot butter and garlic for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply golden and caramelised.
• Furthermore, flat mushrooms make an outstanding base for a simple mushroom soup – saute, add stock and cream and blend.
• Additionally, use sliced in a mushroom stroganoff or a classic mushroom sauce for steak.

Perfect Pairings

Flat Mushrooms 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good butter, garlic, flat-leaf parsley and a squeeze of lemon – the finest simple preparation
• Fresh pasta, risotto or polenta where the mushroom flavour becomes the centrepiece
• A glass of white Burgundy, aged Chardonnay or a light earthy Pinot Noir alongside
• Eggs – scrambled, soft-boiled or in an omelette – the most natural mushroom companion

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within 2 to 3 days of delivery. Store unwrapped or in a paper bag – plastic traps moisture and causes deterioration. However, do not wash mushrooms until just before cooking. Furthermore, brush away any soil with a dry pastry brush rather than washing. Delivered fresh and ready to cook.

However you cook them, Flat Mushrooms 1kg brings a depth of flavour that transforms any dish from good to genuinely memorable. Moreover, great mushrooms need very little – the finest cooking always lets the ingredient speak for itself.
