Be a “Blenditarian” and Win

Low in kilojoules and high in antioxidants (not to mention vitamin B12 and vitamin D), there are plenty of reasons to add more mushrooms to your diet. And the Australian Mushroom Growers Association is adding one more reason to the list: the chance to win $10,000 cash. All you need do is blend, snap and share.
 
When we say “blend”, we’re talking about a simple cooking technique that helps make the most of your mushrooms. Just substitute a portion of minced meat with finely diced mushrooms and you’ll increase flavour, reduce fat, cut down on meat consumption and maybe even trick the kids into eating some more healthy dinners. With their delicious umami flavour, mushrooms are a great ingredient to blend with family-favourite recipes such as spaghetti bolognaise, burgers and tacos. All you need to do is substitute at least 25 per cent of the meat for diced mushrooms.

For your chance to win $10,000 cash, you need share your favourite mushroom and mince Blenditarian dish on your social media channels, use the hashtag #blenditarianrecipe and tag @AustralianMushroomGrowers. The competition runs until Wednesday March 15.
