Champignons in a slow cooker

Usually mushrooms are used as an additional ingredient to a side dish, for example, fried potatoes with mushrooms, pilaf with champignons, and so on. However, you can cook the champignons whole and enjoy the pleasant, delicate and unique taste of forest mushrooms. Moreover, mushrooms can be cooked in several ways: steamed, in sour cream, with meat or vegetables. All these recipes will be described in detail in this article. Let's find out how to cook champignons in a slow cooker quickly and tasty.

Rules for preparing the dish “Champignons in a Multicooker”

It’s better to go to the forest and collect mushrooms for cooking yourself. Firstly, this way you will be sure that the champignons are of good quality and fresh. Secondly, you can have fun spending time with your family in nature.

If you still decide to purchase mushrooms, you should carefully ensure that the champignons are fresh. In this case, it’s better to buy in certified stores, although it will be slightly more expensive there.

Before you start cooking champignons, the mushrooms should be thoroughly rinsed under running water. If desired, you can peel off the top skin. And if you are not sure about the quality of the mushrooms, then it is imperative to peel the champignons.

During the preparation itself, it is important to follow the cooking instructions. This is especially true for cooking time. After all, if you overcook mushrooms in a slow cooker, they may lose their taste and beneficial qualities.

Tips and tricks

To ensure your dishes turn out perfect, you should follow some tips and tricks:

Decorate your dish with herbs. It will be much tastier and more aesthetically pleasing. It is best to choose parsley.
When you place the champignons in the steamer, make sure that they do not touch each other.
Keep an eye on the mushrooms while cooking as cooking time may vary.
Don't add too much salt, it stimulates your appetite.
In the Italian recipe, you can do without cheese if you don’t like it or are allergic to it.
It is advisable to serve champignons hot and do not allow them to cool.
Before cooking, be sure to rinse the champignons with cold running water (do this as thoroughly as possible).
It is best to choose large champignons (if you are going to stuff them, more filling will fit).
You can add tomato paste to the champignons (in any recipe, to taste).

Diet food

Champignons in cream in a slow cooker, unfortunately, are not a dietary dish. If you are counting calories and are on a diet, then I recommend cooking champignons in a double boiler or steaming champignons in a slow cooker. The calorie content of such a dish is 53 kcal per 100 grams, which is a low value. True, it will be quite difficult to eat enough steamed mushrooms due to their low energy value. Therefore, I still recommend trying to cook other, higher-calorie champignons in a slow cooker.

Marinated champignons with salmon in a slow cooker have a special taste and pleasant aroma. True, this recipe uses a fairly large amount of spices, which is why the taste of the dish changes so much. Potatoes or rice with mushrooms go well with fish, but the side dish will have to be prepared separately.

Moreover, these recipes are almost entirely based on the dishes that were discussed step by step in the article above. Let's find out how else you can cook champignons in a slow cooker quickly and tasty.

Steamed with chicken and beans

You can steam champignons not only as a separate dish, but also with additional ingredients, such as chicken and beans. New components only need to be washed when necessary, and the chicken meat also needs to be cut into portions. After this, all that remains is to place all the ingredients on the multicooker rack and cook in the “Steam” mode for 15-20 minutes. By the way, if your electrical appliance does not support this mode, then you can use “Soup” in the multicooker instead. In this case, nothing changes over time, but it is still better to use the “Steam” program.

Baked with filling

For lovers of spicy tastes, there is a special dish “Champignons with mustard and cheese in a slow cooker.” This recipe is entirely based on the dish “How to cook stuffed mushrooms in a slow cooker?”, which was discussed step by step in the article above. Only in this case should onions be excluded from the composition. Instead, add a little mustard to the caps. Everything else remains the same as in that recipe, including cooking time. By the way, this is a great way to prank your friends by adding a little more mustard to the composition and letting them try it (the main thing is not to overdo it).

In sour cream

Champignons with sour cream in a slow cooker are a tasty, satisfying and very unusual dish. It is unlike any previous recipe, yet it is one of the most popular not only in Russia, but throughout the world. By the way, the energy value of champignons in sour cream is 133 kcal per 100 grams. And you can prepare a dish according to this recipe in an hour and a half, and most of the time the multicooker will cook on its own. Let's look at a step-by-step recipe on how to cook champignons in sour cream in a slow cooker.

Switch the appliance to the “Baking” mode and continue cooking for half an hour.
After the program is completed, mix the ingredients again and you can serve the mushrooms in sour cream to the table.

With cheese

Variants of the dish “Champignons with cheese in a slow cooker” have already been discussed in the article above. Here I would just like to note that grated cheese can be combined with any method of preparing champignons. You can even carefully sprinkle the mushrooms with grated cheese 3-4 minutes before the end of the “Steaming” program. Of course, the calorie content of the dish will increase to 60-70 kcal per 100 grams. But at the same time, the taste will be excellent, which is good news. Be sure to try making champignons with cheese in a slow cooker with your own hands - it’s very tasty.

With Chiken

Champignons with chicken in a slow cooker are already a complete dish that turns out very tasty. If in the article above we looked at how to cook steamed chicken with mushrooms, then in this block we will look at other recipes. For example, you can cook chicken while the champignons are being cooked in the “Steam” mode. Or you can cook chicken with champignons with sour cream in a slow cooker. To do this, chop the chicken meat into medium pieces and add it to the slow cooker along with sour cream. As a result, the dish will turn out much tastier, healthier and richer.

With vegetables

It’s worth noting right away that champignons with vegetables are a dish that is difficult to prepare and requires a large number of ingredients. Of course, the cost of this recipe is higher than other dishes. But at the same time, mushrooms with vegetables in a slow cooker turn out to be nourishing and tasty, and most importantly, very healthy. After all, vegetables contain a huge amount of substances necessary for the human body. Let's cook champignons with vegetables in a slow cooker with our own hands right now.

List of ingredients:

champignons – 300-400 g;
potatoes – 2-3 pcs;
onion – 1 piece;
tomato – 1-2 pcs;
small zucchini - 1 piece;
eggplant – 1 piece;
bell pepper – ½ part;
water – 50 ml;
garlic – 5 cloves;
water – 128 ml;
vegetable oil;
salt, herbs and spices to taste.

Step-by-step preparation of champignons with vegetables in a slow cooker:

Rinse all the necessary components under running water and peel the vegetables.
Cut the mushrooms into slices, zucchini and eggplant into slices, and potatoes and peppers into small cubes.
Chop the onions and tomatoes into half rings, and chop the garlic and herbs into random small pieces.
Pour oil over the bottom of the multicooker and turn on the “Frying” mode.
Fry the champignons until most of the moisture has evaporated from the mushrooms, then transfer the main ingredient to a separate container.
Sprinkle the bottom of the multicooker again with oil and place chopped potatoes inside, and place fried champignons on top.
Season with salt and pepper, then add onion and garlic, on top of which are placed eggplant and zucchini with bell pepper.
Season with salt and pepper again, place tomatoes on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Pour a small amount of water into the slow cooker to make the vegetables juicier.
Without stirring, turn on the “Stew” mode and cook the champignons with vegetables in a slow cooker for one hour.
At the end of the program, open the lid, stir and you can serve the vegetables and champignons to the table.

With ham

I suggest you familiarize yourself with another unusual dish. True, in this recipe, champignons play a secondary role and act as an additional ingredient, and not the main one. Of course, we are talking about pizza with mushrooms and ham in a slow cooker. It’s worth noting right away that preparing such a delicious dish is not difficult. But to make it as clear as possible, I suggest watching a video on how to cook pizza with champignons and ham in a slow cooker. By the way, the author of the video shares some useful secrets that will help you prepare pizza in a slow cooker with your own hands.

With mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is an excellent addition to any dish with champignons (except steamed ones). But during the cooking process, it is better not to add mayonnaise to dishes, because under the influence of high temperature the sauce may lose its taste, for which it is so much adored. It is better to lubricate the champignons and other components with mayonnaise after completing the program while eating the dish. But it is worth considering that mayonnaise sauce is a high-calorie food, so the number of calories will increase noticeably as this ingredient is added to the dish.

In Italian

The result is a more satisfying, tasty and healthy dish. For example, garlic and breadcrumbs are added. At the same time, the concept of preparing the dish changes slightly. True, this recipe has already been reviewed step by step on the Multivarnik website. To get acquainted with Italian-style champignons in a slow cooker, follow the link.

For the lazy?

Multicookers appeared in our kitchen life at the beginning of the new century and immediately gained many fans. Still - a universal electronic saucepan, which itself prepares dishes according to a given program, greatly freeing the home cook from all sorts of unnecessary fuss. Some even call multicookers “a frying pan for lazy people,” but this is not entirely true - in order to properly cook food in this device, you also need to use attentiveness and culinary ingenuity. Yes, you can easily and quickly cook soup and juicy roasts in a slow cooker, but it’s not at all a robot into which you can throw food, and it will give you a ready-made, perfectly cooked dish.

When preparing dishes in a slow cooker, it is very important to observe the correct dosage of the ingredients used. That is why in recipes for multicooker dishes, the volume of required ingredients is very often indicated with maximum specificity - for example, not 500 g, but 485 g. And this accuracy must be observed.

As for the rest, everything is simple here - put the necessary ingredients in the bowl, turn on the required operating mode - and the device will do almost everything else itself. It is only important not to forget to strictly follow the prescribed algorithm for the cooking process - the multicooker does not like deviations from it. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the power and other capabilities of the device in advance, since they differ for different models of multicookers.

Yes, an experienced and sophisticated cook is unlikely to use a multicooker for preparing dishes, since this device undoubtedly limits the degree of manifestation of culinary imagination. However, if you want to quickly prepare not only a tasty, but also an interesting dish, then this device is for you. So feel free to use it, including for preparing dishes with mushrooms.

This article presents several recipes on how to cook wonderful champignon mushrooms in a slow cooker.
