Frittata with Mushrooms and Broccoli |
As I was thinking about what recipe to cook the other day, I became intrigued with mushrooms. Mainly because when we are shopping for mushrooms, my husband always buys the more expensive brown cremini mushrooms and I buy the less expensive white ones. He says the brown ones are tastier.
I always thought they were the same, but in my sleuthing on mushrooms, I found that they are different and he was right! Dang!
Because they are a different kind of mushroom, cremini mushrooms do have a stronger umami flavour, a rich savoury taste.
Another fun fact I learned is that the small cremini mushrooms are just a smaller version of the bigger, portabella mushrooms. In just a matter of days, the small cremini mushroom can morph into a giant portabella mushroom.
