Our Mushrooms in Garlic

A favourite with all mushroom lovers, it is now officially a favourite with Amanda as well [which usually is a mushroom loather] :) I was so surprised that she liked it...well actually she loved them!! They are very easy to prepare. We usually serve them with our Full English Breakfast but they can be served as a starter to any meal. The amount of mushrooms we used was for 2 people but mushrooms basically disappear whilst cooking so adapt the ingredients as you wish :) We also used White Closed Cap mushrooms but you can use white mushrooms or even Portobello mushrooms. Do not use Oyster or Enoki mushrooms as they are quite delicate and you will ruin their taste plus their texture will not be that pleasant. You will need...
  • 350g white mushrooms, quartered
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brandy
How to...
  1. Melt the butter in a pan and add the garlic and fry until fragrant & golden.
  2. Add the quartered mushrooms, parsley , soy sauce and brandy. Give them a careful stir and put a lid on. Simmer for about 2 minutes on a medium heat.
  3. Remove the lid and stir carefully again. Let simmer uncovered until sauce is reduced and mushrooms are cooked, about 10 minutes.
  4. Plate and serve.
Enjoy!!
