Chilli Garlic Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the mushrooms, then fry over a high heat for 3 mins until golden and softened. Add the garlic, fry for 1 min more, then tip into a bowl with the parsley. Add the onion and celery to the pan with the rest of the oil, then fry for 5 mins until lightly coloured.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chilli and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins until thickened. Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti, then drain. Toss with the sauce, top with the garlicky mushrooms, then serve.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, then add spices (cumin, coriander and chilli) to the hot oil for a few seconds. Add onion, garlic, carrot and chilies and cook for a few minutes until onion softens. Add chopped mushrooms, and continue to cook for a few minutes until mushrooms soften. Add washed lentils and stir for a minute. Add stock, tomato and garlic puree, bay leaves, soy sauces and Worcestershire sauce.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer the lentils. Cook for an hour at low heat, stirring regularly, and adding boiling water when the contents start to stick to the pan. Towards the end, add tin of kidney beans. Can use the juice from the can in addition to the boiling water additions.
• Done when the lentils are soft.
• Options & serving suggestions: can add finely chopped celery, fresh chillies (according to taste), red wine to flavour. I prefer to eat with mashed potato, but of course would go with rice.
• Chilli powder varies in strength - I only used 1 tsp, but it is a very fiery batch!

Steps:

• For the mushrooms field mushrooms are best but make sure they are nice and round in shape rather than flat. Remove the stems.
• Stuff the mushrooms full of garlic, don't be scared because anyone that doesn't like you with garlic breath probably didn't like you to begin with!
• Drizzle some olive oil over each mushroom.
• Place on a lightly oiled barbecue plate at medium temperature for a minute or two with the cup of the mushroom facing up. Check occasionally and cook until it is lightly browned on the bottom.
• Flip the mushroom over and cook a further two minutes on the other side.
• After two minutes flip again, scooping any lost garlic back into the cup of the mushroom (very important!).
• Now use a pair of tongs and tap each mushroom lightly in around ten places around the outside area. This is the trick and you should see the juices rising to the top and is what gives a juicy rather than dry flavor.
• Cook around another five minutes depending on barbecue temperature. Sometimes I like to turn the plate off at this point and leave for slowly cook for around ten minutes instead.
