Mushrooms on Toast |
For
a quick lunch I whipped up some mushrooms on toast. This is all I needed:
½
onion, chopped
1
punnet mushrooms – I just used white button
½
tsp porcini powder to give depth of flavour
Touch
of chilli flakes
Small
amount of chicken stock (optional if you don't eat meat of course)
Splosh
of brandy
So
I sautéed the onion for a couple of minutes in a mix of olive oil and butter
and then added the sliced mushrooms and the spices. When they are cooked I added the stock and
brandy and cooked for another minute or so.
Right at the end (and off the heat) I stirred through a spoonful of
crème fraiche – could have been cream or sour cream.
Served
on toast it made a nice lunch.

ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms on toast, but thought I was the only one who ate them. I've never tried porcini powder, but I'll bet it adds a lot of taste, so I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!

ReplyDeletePorcini power is something I have never seen here..the Brandy though, that would be excellent
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is a new one for me; it would be great for Meatless Mondays.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, I would love this for lunch. Or anytime! I've used porcini powder, adds such nice flavor to dishes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Oh yum! This reminds me of mushroom duxelles, which I love. I've never thought to add the porcini powder, which would really up the flavor. Thanks for the great tip.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a delicious lunch - porcini powder is a great addition!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love this! Great for breakfast or a snack and chock full of earthy mushroom goodness. Yum.
