Mushrooms on Toast



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.

  8. I 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!

  13. 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.
