We always say that mushrooms are one of the most versatile foods that can be included in any diet and make a great ingredient for both easy weekday meals and fancy holiday feasts. This time, we are here to show you that they can be an amazing addition to spice up the Easter menu, as well.
There are many ways in which you can enjoy these nutrient-rich foods and we have already shared a lot of amazing, mouth-watering mushroom recipes with you. Whether you choose to make appetizers, main courses, side dishes or just snacks using mushrooms, they will definitely compliment your holiday menu in an amazing way.
Although holidays like Easter usually involve loads of cooking, baking and a tremendous amount of meaty, filling dishes that are often hard to digest, every once in a while, you can allow yourself to stray from the traditional path of ham and lamb, and choose to serve food that is a little bit lighter, thus reducing the chances of it disturbing your stomach or leading to unwanted weight-gain.
Even if you don’t want to give up the traditional Easter dishes completely, you can include some mushroom dishes to make the entire feast a little healthier, especially if you’ve been fasting in the period before Easter, since diving into all those heavy dishes after a time in which you cut down on meat completely can strain your digestive system quite seriously, possibly leading to unpleasant and unwanted visits to the hospital.
With these being said, let’s see how you can include some tasty mushrooms into the Easter feast in a way that will cause your guests’ jaws to drop.
