The advice from the experts is indeed as you outlined - there is no need to peel mushrooms, apart from being time consuming a lot of goodness and flavour is in the skin. The recommended method is to simply wipe mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. If necessary, simply use a soft brush to remove any dirt from the skin surface and trim the stem end.

Well, mostly. You see, if I'm in a hurry, and they aren't too dirty, I leave them on. But if I have time, and they're going into a salad uncooked, then they're skin naked.<br /><br />And damn it. Why IS chicken skin so bad for you? I know why, but WHY? It is the best bit.<br /><br />Cute post Claire. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345662692259541964noreply@blogger.com
