Hot and Creamy Mushrooms (serves: 1 as a main course or 2 as a side, preparation time: 5 minutes, cooking time: 10 minutes)


This is food for your palette not for your eyes. Maybe eat it blindfolded? It is a great combo of creamy and spicy but looks a bit anaemic. I usually eat it with pan-fried Sea Bass or Mackerel, although it can also be eaten as a Stroganoff-type dish by itself with rice.

1 small onion, finely diced
200g chestnut or white mushrooms
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 small red chilli, finely diced
juice of 1 lime
60ml natural yoghurt or creme fraiche

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a frying pan.

Add the onion and garlic and fry on a low heat for 5 minutes until soft.

Add the sliced mushrooms, chilli and lime juice and fry over a higher heat for 2-3 minutes.

Take off the heat, allow to cool for 1 minute and then stir through the yoghurt / creme fraiche.

it tastes a lot better than it looks!
