How To Trick A Picky Eater Into Enjoying Mushrooms?
One method is to grate or puree mushrooms, allowing you to add them to dishes without anyone noticing their presence. Grated or pureed mushrooms can be mixed into pasta sauces, soups, stews, and more. If your picky eaters are more open to trying new vegetables, consider mixing mushrooms with other vegetables that they enjoy. For example, sautéing a mixture of mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers can add flavor and nutrition to tacos or burritos. Mushrooms also have a meaty texture and can be used as a substitute for meat in many dishes, such as tacos or spaghetti sauce, or as a vegetarian alternative in dishes like mushroom burgers or skewers.
