Grey Oyster Mushroom

(Pleurotus ostreatus)

This mushroom grows in bunches and has a grey shell-shaped top and stem. Because of the soft and meaty structure and taste it is very popular with vegetarians.

• Soft, meaty taste
• Available throughout the year

Preparation

• Soft and almost creamy taste
• Soups and sauces
• Fried on toast or bread with some garlic butter.
• Meat substitute. Also known as the vegetarian steak.
• Heat for a very period otherwise the oyster mushroom loses its taste.

Storage

Store oyster mushrooms in the refrigerator. They can be stored there for 1 to 2 weeks. In the freezer, the storage time is up to 3 months. To freeze them, it is best to blanch them first (cook briefly) or sauté them (short stir-fry). Let them drain on a piece of kitchen paper, cool and put them in a freezer bag or container in the freezer. They can be kept for about three months.

Cleaning

Gently clean oyster mushrooms with a brush or a damp paper towel. Cut the tough stem away and cut the top into slices or quarters. Do not clean the oyster mushroom under running water or by leaving it in water. They retain water and that leads to a loss of flavour.
