20 Shroomiest Paleo Recipes! (mushroom recipes)

MUSHROOM RECIPES! I suppose you either love ’em or hate ’em. They are either these earthy bits of wonderfulness that add everything to the dish or they are just a spore-bearing fungus that is icky on your plate! I am of the former camp ~ LOVE THEM!

My most spectacular memory of mushrooms are actually from a truffle night in Paris (truffles are underground mushrooms). My hubby and I we were stationed in Germany right after our marriage. A year later, we paid $200 for a bus trip to Paris that happened to coincide with our 1-year anniversary. Being a Navy brat, I had already been to Paris so I talked Sam (hubs) into skipping the whole tour thing. The 200 dollars basically bought us the transportation there and back as well as lodging in a nice hotel. We walked the Avenue des Champs–Élysées at night and climbed the Arc de Triomphe. I had never seen it at night…amazing. The Parisian night traffic was beautiful. Ahhh…what a night. Oh wait, were we talking about mushrooms? LOL! Well, we found this little restaurant. They were offering a 5-course meal of truffles for two. It was way too expensive. So I talked Sam into ordering it rationalizing that it was our anniversary and we were in Paris and so on. I wish I could conjure up in my mind everything we ate, but this was before Instagram and camera phones. I wish I was such a foodie at that point in my life where I remembered every last morsel of my food. But, all I know is that each bite melted in my mouth…that I was across from the love of my life…and that feeling of being so in love in Paris while drinking wine and eating mushrooms.

So, here is my round-up. Some of these recipes use mushrooms as the star of the dish and some just include it. Whether the star or not, I think you’ll enjoy this eclectic grouping of mushroom recipes…enjoy!!
