Providing varied meals for the family during summer vacation can be challenging. Here’s a recipe selection containing mushroom recipes that are healthy, delicious and “sellable” for kids as well.
1. Proper tools are more important than you think.
Summer is a great time for cold soups that can be made without cooking. Choose seasonal fruits such as summer apples, pears, forest fruits, watermelon or use pitted compote, frozen fruit or jam. In this case, be careful not to add too much sugar to your soup. Mix 4 cups of fruit with a banana using a blender, mix with half a liter of rice or coconut milk, season with cinnamon or mint leaves and add the fruit your child prefers.
If your child doesn’t eat mushrooms despite you trying out the most delicious, mouth-watering, and complex recipes, hide the mushroom in a simple but great patty! We can serve grilled vegetables – carrots, peppers, zucchini, potatoes – as a side dish.
2. Diverse pizzas, and fruit salad for dessert
Everyone loves pizza, and if we prepare it with different toppings, everyone is sure to find a slice they like. If we have frozen or pre-baked pizza crusts at home, the freshly baked pizza is ready in 15-20 minutes!
Mushroom cheese pizza: line the baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with oil, place the dough on it. Spread the tomato sauce on the dough, then sprinkle with mushrooms and grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 200-220°C for 15-20 minutes until done.
Mushroom-vegetable pizza: chop 2 peppers, 5 mushrooms, 1 small onion, spread the dough with tomato sauce and sprinkle with vegetables and fresh basil. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes, then sprinkle with a few more basil leaves before serving.
For the fruit salad, choose seasonal fruits: chop 1 slice of watermelon, 2 apricots, 1 apple, 1 pear, a few strawberries, sprinkle with a handful of blueberries and raspberries – and it’s ready. If we want to enhance the flavors, we can use a little honey and lemon juice. No dessert is healthier and more vitamin-rich than this!
3. Mushroom-spinach pasta (one-pot meal)
If we want to put a warm meal on the table quickly, pasta is one of the best choices. In this quick recipe presented here, mushrooms and spinach are the ones representing healthy and vitamin-rich ingredients.
Put water on to boil for the pasta. For the filling, first melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan, sauté four cloves of chopped garlic in it, then add cleaned and chopped mushrooms (if we cook for a family of four people, 30 dkg is enough), add salt and pepper. Once the mushrooms have softened, add spinach (20 dkg), cover and steam for 1-2 minutes. Then add 3 dl of cream and bring to a boil. Serve by mixing it with the cooked and drained pasta. If we want to add more flavors to it, we can use grated cheese or herbs.
