‘On the side’ zingy mushrooms
Who knew mushrooms could be so delicious?! The chillies, tomato paste, lime and coriander bring on a Mexican style to this dish and they’ll steal the show in any meal. You’ll be pleased to hear that they are lovely and versatile too, meaning that any leftovers can make up part of another meal. Try them with scrambled or poached eggs for a spicy breakfast, or as a base layer over an open tart, or have them as a side with the pork chops with dukka (recipe on the website), or simply with half an avocado for a light lunch or healthy snack. A new firm favourite of mine, I’d love to hear what you think!
Method
In a frying pan, heat the oil over a high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for 10 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
Turn down the heat and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, water, lime and maple syrup and stir well.
Add the spring onions and coriander and stir.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
