Cumin Mushrooms – An Experiment

So I saw a recipe for cumin mushrooms and decided to give it a go – did I follow the recipe exactly?  Well no!  The result was a bit bland.  So I have put down what I think will work but no guarantees.

Ingredients:

Small button mushrooms (not the bigger ones I used)

2 teaspoons of ground cumin

Salt & pepper

Oil

Method:

I had the oven on cooking some cauliflower cheese so I decided to cook the mushrooms in it as well.  The recipe I saw suggested frying in a pan.

I de-stemmed each mushroom.  I put some oil into a baking dish and laid the mushrooms on it cut side down.  I sprinkled them with salt and pepper and with half of the cumin.  A drizzle of oil and then into the oven.

After about an hour I turned them over and put the rest of the cumin on.  In fact I was light on the cumin because it is a very strong spice but next time I'll be braver.

We ate them with dinner and they were only just ok.  What you are supposed to do is let them cool to room temperature and serve them on toothpicks as a cocktail plate.
