- Native Forest Organic Portobello Mushroom Slices - 6.5 Oz (Pack of 12)

Caught these on a warehouse special & it's been a good deal all the way around ~ w/ so many mushroom varieties available these days, this shelf-stable simplicity makes for a great pantry staple, allowing me to never be w/out 'shrooms while waiting to catch other fresh varieties on sale. One way I use them is to drain off the can liquid into the saucepan & add some brown gravy mix to that (same technique as when the instrx call for cold water) ~ make the gravy, then add the mushrooms, let them warm up over a very low heat (great 'back burner' side while you're preparing the rest of your meal) ~ good over meat, rice, potatoes, etc. Another way is to drain liquid & then let the mushrooms dry off even more on a paper towel while lightly toasting Panko crumbs & grated Parmesan over low heat in a small amount of sweet, unsalted butter (the parm is plenty salty) ~ set the Panko Parm aside & heat the mushrooms in a small bit of butter, then toss it all together so that the Panko Parm coats the mushroom slices ~ spoon over a grilled steak or toss w/ buttered pasta noodles. Next time you finish off the last jalapeno slice from a jar, reserve that liquid for these (or tiny button) canned mushrooms ~ just drain the can liquid & add the 'shrooms to the jar of spicy liquid ~ keep in the fridge for a peppy little addition to nachos, omelets, pizzas, etc.

Used in cooking. The portobello mushrooms are very tasty, pleasing texture, top quality. I've been adding these to rice dishes for years, and never disappointed in the excellent flavor. Like many USA food products, the price has risen steeply - but still worth it. Also in the past two years, the pallet of 12 small cans has arrived in much cleaner condition. Looks like they fixed a warehouse issue. However it's what's inside the cans that matters, and the contents of the cans has always been delicious.

The taste of these organic, sliced portobello mushrooms is superb, definitely a couple steps up from the typical canned button type mushrooms, with an unmistakably meaty Portobello flavor-rich and earthy at the same time. Because the 'shrooms are so large, we tend to chop each in half then use a 4 ounce can, with the juices, for top notch pasta dishes or stroganoff fit for a King and his Queen. Stir fry dishes and customized omelets become something special, and a vegetarian pate can't help but taste classier with a portion of the fungi of this caliber. The taste is not overly salty and no nuance of eau de can is evident. Yes, they are pricy but a little goes a long way and we are just thrilled to have these added to our 'always pantry' arsenal. Subscribing helps bring them to us at a nicer price as well!

Great canned mushrooms! Will buy again!

I received my case of organic portobello slices 20 minutes ago. I was pleasantly surprised that none were dented because that's a usual on Amazon. However, the price is right, it came on time, and not dented. I just went ahead and bought another case before even tasting. I love the other organic products from this brand, I have no doubts they'll be delicious. UPDATE: I opened a can and sautéed with peppers, onion and the portobello are wonderful! Small cans, but large nice slices with very little water. Very tasty, great texture. Definitely buying more.

these are canned & remarkably evenly sliced organic portobellos. you will never make a gorgeous, succulent, al dente portobello steak out of them. but, if all your cook needs are the signature portobello flavor, with the texture of uniform slices, this is it. an excellent short cut for a lazy, everyday gourmet cook. these cans almost always arrives with very lightly dented cans. still food safe for shelving & use over time, but almost as if AMZ seeks out lightly dented canned foods from manufacturers. a reasonably safe and undeniably tasty buy in a flatpack.

Great taste.

These are good canned mushrooms. More frequently than not, I cannot get grocery store canned mushrooms with just the water and salt. Wanting to avoid other ingredients, I ordered these and they shipped very well and are tasty and are handy when I do not have fresh mushrooms.
