EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Whether you're eating a low-carb diet or just love mushrooms, these hearty recipes will hit the spot. From Easy Stuffed Mushrooms to Slow-Cooker Mushroom Soup, there is something for everyone. All of these recipes clock in at under 15 grams of carbohydrate and they also deliver vegetables, protein and healthy fats for a well-rounded meal or snack. 01 of 20 Caprese Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms View Recipe We've taken the key ingredients of the popular caprese salad—tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil—and piled them into portobello mushroom caps to make a delicious and satisfying vegetarian main dish. 02 of 20 Easy Stuffed Mushrooms View Recipe This healthy stuffed mushroom appetizer is a nice balance of soft mushrooms, creamy filling and crunchy topping. This combination tastes downright decadent, but it's actually good for you. Be sure to get all of the moisture out of the chopped mushrooms before moving on to the next step; if not, the filling will be soggy and make the mushroom caps watery. 03 of 20 Slow-Cooker Mushroom Soup with Sherry View Recipe Treat dinner guests to this premeal soup loaded with earthy, umami flavor from the mushrooms and soy sauce. Puréeing only some of the slow-cooker mushroom soup gives the dish complex texture and eye appeal. Garnish with additional black pepper and chopped fresh thyme, if desired. 04 of 20 Greek Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms View Recipe A mixture of tomatoes, spinach, feta, olives and fresh oregano gives portobellos a Mediterranean vibe in this healthy stuffed mushroom recipe. Serve these along with chicken, fish or tofu as a super-satisfying side dish, or add a hearty salad and make them the centerpiece of a vegetarian dinner. 05 of 20 Slow-Cooker Umami Mushrooms In addition to being a great stand-alone side, these slow-cooker mushrooms are also excellent tossed in a salad or stir-fry. Be sure to buy whole cremini mushrooms so they will retain their texture and not turn mushy during the long cook time. If you don't want to wait for the mushroom mixture to concentrate during the 1 hour and 30 minutes of cooking it uncovered, then cook it, uncovered, just long enough for the mushrooms to brown. Then drain the liquid and bring it to a boil in a saucepan. Once the liquid has thickened, stir in the mushrooms and vinegar and sprinkle with the scallions. 06 of 20 Mushroom-Cauliflower Risotto View Recipe Easy homemade cauliflower rice stands in for regular rice in this healthy vegetable-based risotto, lowering both the calories and carbs in this traditionally starchy dish. To make this a vegetarian meal, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. 07 of 20 Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry View Recipe This tofu veggie stir-fry is quick and easy, making it a great go-to weeknight meal. Baked tofu has a firm, toothsome texture that crisps well in a hot pan. You can find it in flavors like teriyaki and sesame, both of which are delicious here. Or opt for a smoked version, which has the same texture with a more robust flavor. Serve over brown rice. 08 of 20 Slow-Cooker Herb & Mushroom Braised Beef View Recipe With its comforting flavors contributed by savory meat, mushrooms, onions, carrots and fresh herbs, this slow-cooker braised beef is a wonderful supper on cold-weather days. Consider freezing it into portions for busy weeknight meals. You could also shred the meat and serve it on sandwiches. 09 of 20 Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms View Recipe This crab-stuffed mushroom recipe is perfect for Christmas, New Year's Eve and other holiday parties or any other time you need a quick and easy appetizer. The filling is light and fresh thanks to hearts of palm, a tender vegetable with a mild flavor (similar to artichokes) that doesn't mask the rich, sweet flavor of fresh crabmeat. 10 of 20 Roasted Asparagus, Mushrooms & Prosciutto A quick roast in the oven and this trio melds together to become the perfect vegetable side dish recipe for chicken or steak. Or toss the warm roasted asparagus and mushrooms with baby spinach and a little more oil and vinegar to turn it into a quick salad recipe. 11 of 20 Garlic-Rosemary Mushrooms View Recipe Garlic-Rosemary Mushrooms. Ken Burris These simple sautéed mushrooms work as a quick, weeknight side dish. To turn them into a main course, toss with cooked pasta and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese or fold into an omelet with Gruyère, fontina or Swiss cheese. 12 of 20 Broccoli with Balsamic Mushrooms View Recipe Just a touch of butter adds silkiness to the balsamic sauce that coats broccoli and meaty mushrooms in this easy broccoli side dish recipe. 13 of 20 Red Wine Braised Mushroom Sauce View Recipe Simple sautéed mushrooms are made sumptuous with the addition of red wine and rich mushroom or beef broth in this easy mushroom sauce recipe. Serve with steak or stir in a little sour cream and serve over egg noodles for a meat-free mushroom Stroganoff. 14 of 20 Beef Rib Roast with Mushrooms & Fennel The edible wild mushrooms you can find depend on where you live. They add woodsy and earthy flavors, but cultivated cremini and white buttons are delicious here too. Well-stocked supermarkets often have cultivated "wild" varieties like hen of the woods, matsutake, yellowfoot and hedgehog—all great in this recipe. 15 of 20 Roasted Portobello Caps View Recipe Think of a jumbo stuffed mushroom without all the high-fat ingredients but with all the flavor. Serve these alongside grilled chicken breasts or a juicy steak. 16 of 20 Spinach & Warm Mushroom Salad View Recipe In this hearty mushroom and spinach salad recipe, sturdier "mature" spinach leaves hold up better than baby spinach when tossed with the warm mushroom-and-bacon vinaigrette. 17 of 20 Sautéed Green Beans with Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Garlic View Recipe This versatile and easy side dish is a tasty way to showcase green beans. We boil the beans briefly before sautéing for perfectly crisp-tender vegetables that don't get mushy. 18 of 20 Sauteed Mushrooms with Caramelized Shallots This recipe for sautéed mushrooms with caramelized shallots is one of those dishes that will haunt you. You might want to add a splash of excellent vinegar or some freshly grated lemon zest, but neither is necessary. Though a side of mushrooms may not be traditional, you'll be amazed at how well they go with everything on the Thanksgiving menu. 19 of 20 Sesame Roasted Mushrooms & Scallions Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of mushrooms. Here they are paired with full-flavored sesame oil, ginger, garlic and scallions. Using a variety of mixed mushrooms makes this dish special (and delicious). Serve with Ginger-Steamed Fish with Troy's Hana-Style Sauce and rice noodles. 20 of 20 Sautéed Mushroom Salad View Recipe Photography / Jenny Huang, Food Styling / Tyna Hoang, Prop Styling / Nicole Louie Here we make a warm sherry-mushroom dressing to toss over bitter greens. The dressing wilts the greens until they are just tender. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
