To make sour mushroom, cook sliced mushrooms and season them with an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt. Cook the mushrooms in an uncrowded pan so their released moisture can evaporate, then adjust the sourness to taste.
Button mushrooms are a reliable choice for sour mushroom because they are widely available and cook quickly. Oyster mushrooms also work, though they have a different texture. Never use wild mushrooms unless a qualified expert has identified them as safe.
Sour mushroom tastes savory and earthy, with a tangy note from lemon, vinegar, or yogurt. The exact balance varies with the ingredient used: lemon tends to taste brighter, while vinegar gives the dish a sharper tang.
Yes, yogurt can be used in sour mushroom. To reduce the chance of curdling, whisk a little warm cooking liquid into the yogurt first, then stir it into the dish over low heat without bringing it to a boil.
Sour mushroom can turn watery because mushrooms release moisture as they cook. Use a wide pan, avoid crowding it, and cook over fairly high heat so excess liquid can evaporate before you add the sour seasoning.
Yes, lemon juice can replace vinegar in sour mushroom. It gives the dish a fresher, usually gentler tang; add a little at a time and taste as you go, since lemons vary in acidity.
Sour mushroom can be served either hot as a cooked side dish or chilled as a meze-style starter. If it contains yogurt, chill it promptly and keep it refrigerated until serving.
Sour mushroom pairs well with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread, which complement its tangy sauce. It can also be served alongside grilled vegetables or other meze; add fresh herbs just before serving for a brighter finish.
Sour mushroom generally keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking rather than leaving it out for an extended time, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, sour mushroom can be frozen, but thawed mushrooms may be softer than freshly cooked ones. Yogurt-based sauce can separate after freezing, so freeze the mushroom dish without yogurt when possible and add the yogurt after reheating.

Sour mushroom is a home-style Turkish preparation of mushrooms cooked with something tart, commonly lemon juice or vinegar; some versions use yoghurt. There is no single fixed recipe, and the mushrooms and souring ingredient can vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The mushrooms turn tender, with their earthy flavour lifted by a bright tang. In Turkey, the dish may be served warm as a vegetable side or meze, with bread, rice or other dishes at the table. It also works as a simple side for a broader range of meals. Mushrooms make it a relatively light choice: a 100 g portion has 38 calories and 2.2 g of fibre. For a lighter version, use only a little oil and rely on lemon or vinegar for the sharpness.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
