Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE. 
Don’t toss the leftover crusts! Use them to make breadcrumbs instead –simply process in a food processor, then freeze in a sealable bag or airtight container until needed.

COOK IT RIGHT
Buy it right
To save time, grab a pack of sliced mushies from the fresh produce fridge.

Store right it
Keep the remaining mushrooms in their original packaging, loosely covered to allow air to circulate.

Cook it right
Leftover mushrooms can be pan-fried and served with scrambled eggs, or add them to soups and stir-fries.
