How to clean and cut mushrooms

September 24, 2011 by Sharmilee J 31 Comments

This has been on to my todo list since long as few of my friends and even readers requested me to post it. This is my way of cleaning mushroom…..The first time I had mushroom I didnt like the veggie and said that I’ll never have it again…..But now its my favourite and we buy it every now and then. Check out kadai mushroom masala and mushroom do pyaza that I posted long back.

How to clean and cut mushrooms
List of Mushroom Recipes:

  • Kadai Mushroom
  • Kadai Mushroom Gravy
  • Mushroom Biryani
  • Mushroom Fried Rice
  • Mushroom Manchurian
  • Mushroom Do Pyaza
  • Mushroom Pepper Fry

Method :

    1. Always get fresh mushroom from a reliable source. I usually get it from Nilgiris or from Pazhamudir Nilayam. Take the mushroom and immerse it in a bowl containing water.How to clean and cut mushrooms Step1
    2. Now to remove the black dirt, if you keep rubbing, the thin skin will come out. Then wipe it off with a clean cloth to absorb the moisture. Then trim the end of the stem part.
      How to clean and cut mushrooms Step2
    3. Keep the head part facing down and chop into thin slices…For each mushroom 3-4 slices will be fine not more than that..How to clean and cut mushrooms Step3
There are different types of mushrooms available but the one easily available here is button mushroom and leaf variety. I have tried only button mushroom but have tasted leaf mushroom at my friends place and totally loved it 🙂

How to clean and cut mushrooms My Notes:

      • You can also remove the stem part seperately and chop into slices.If the mushroom pieces are big then half each slice too.
      • Mushroom leaves out water, so while cooking add water accordingly.
      • I dont see the black hair part being removed in most of the places but I personally prefer doing it atleast for big sized mushrooms.

    That will surely help many who find cleaning mushrooms an ardent task. Saying that, I too don't like the job of cleaning them 🙂

    Thanks Sharmi! 😀 For the first time today, I bought mushrooms and cleaned and sliced them according to your instructions. I even took pics of them and they look just like yours! I personally felt that removing the hairs from below the cover removes a lot of meat too! But it leaves a clean feeling! 😀

    Hi
    I just saw this post. It is very informative, thanks. The leaf type mushrooms you mentioned – they are called "oyster mushrooms". Also a tip for buying mushrooms – the head should extend all the way up to the stem and the hairy part beneath the head, called the gills of the mushroom, should not be visible. If it is seen, that means the mushroom is not fresh so it is better not to buy. Also, the whiter the mushroom, the fresher it is.
