The Yummy Yummy Mushroom (who knew!)
My hubby and I have fallen in love with a new recipe that I have stumbled upon from Jamie's 30 Minute Meals where he creates a steak sarnie with a number of tasty sides. One of the sides is a lovely grilled mushroom. Now I usually do not have much luck with cooking mushies - they usually end up watery and tasteless. This recipe has a bit of crunch and a whole lot of flavour. I hope you enjoy....
(Jamie Oliver's) Cheesy Mushrooms
- 4 large flat Portobello or Field mushrooms (roughly 250g/ 9oz in total)
- 2 cloves of garlic (I used Garden Gourmet squeezy tube and mixed this through the lemon before pouring over mushrooms)
- ½ fresh red chilli
- 2 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ½ lemon
- 1 or 2 tablespoons of lemon zest
- 50 to 100g crumbled feta cheese
- A good splash of good quality olive oil
Lay the mushrooms, stalk side up, on a chopping board. Trim the stalks and place the mushrooms stalk side up in a small earthenware dish that they fit into fairly snugly.
Crush ½ an unpeeled clove of garlic over each mushroom. Finely chop ½ a red chilli and a couple of parsley sprigs, and divide between the mushrooms. Grate over the zest of ½ a lemon, drizzle well with olive oil and lemon juice and season. Crumble feta over the top of the mushrooms.
