A Cooking Technique You Need to Know: BLENDING

Blending involves mixing finely chopped mushrooms with ground meat for more
nutritious, but still delicious, burgers, tacos, meatballs and more.
1. Chop your favorite mushroom variety to match the consistency of the ground meat.
This can be done with a knife or food processor.
2. Blend the chopped mushrooms with the ground meat.
3. Cook with Mexican seasoning mix for tacos, marinara sauce for meaty ragu or salt
and pepper for juicy, flavorful burgers.
