12 Mushroom Recipes, Grouped by What You Cook Them In
Twelve mushroom dinners — skillets and braises, pasta and bakes, soups and stews — with cost per serving, protein, and cook time for each.
Mushrooms are the cheapest way to put a meaty, savory backbone in a dish without buying meat — browned hard in a dry pan first, they behave like a third of a pound of beef for about a dollar.
Anychef catalog data: 95 mushroom recipes in our library at a median $2.40 a serving and 35 minutes, 28 of them under $2, and a third of them meatless. Grouped by the vessel they're cooked in.
