Mushrooms are affordable, flavoursome and can make a dish feel rich and meatier.

Meaty mushrooms are the star of the show in these five dishes

Meaty mushrooms are taking center stage in a variety of comforting dishes. These affordable and hearty fungi can elevate simple family meals, from pastas to soups and even sweet potatoes.

One recipe features pre-soaked mushrooms wet-fried to create a flavorful base. The star of the show is the vegan take on massaman curry, which pairs mushrooms with potatoes and red curry paste for a rich, satisfying dish.

For a quick and easy option, try the mushroom tarts. These pastries only require two ingredients - mushrooms and a pastry shell - but yield a creamy, delicious result that can also be frozen for future enjoyment.

Loaded sweet potatoes are another popular dish featuring mushrooms. Piping hot and stuffed with a creamy mushroom and chicken filling, these sweet potatoes provide a comforting, satisfying meal perfect for chilly winter evenings.

Finally, a rich and flavorful vegan mushroom soup rounds out the five star dishes. Roasting the mushrooms with rosemary before adding them to the soup intensifies their natural umami flavor, making this broth a deeply satisfying and nourishing option.
