Cremini mushrooms are a younger portobello, and as such also go by the name Baby Portobellos or Baby Bellas. Darker, firmer and more flavourful than the white button mushroom. They have a distinctly earthy flavour. Slice them up and use them in stir-fries, soups, pasta or salads.
Clean them gently with a damp paper towel, sauté them in butter or olive oil until golden brown, and season with salt and pepper. Don't forget to let them cook undisturbed to develop their flavor fully. Enjoy their earthy goodness in your favourite recipes!
