My very simple recipe for Sardines and Onions is one
of the most popular on the web site/blog. Here is another like recipe that
takes very little time to prepare and can be concocted well before being wanted
at the table.
MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS
You will need:
Olive oil
Onion
Small button mushrooms
Pepper and salt
Vinegar
Granular mustard
A fresh herb
Cut up an onion finely and, in a
frying pan, cook the pieces in plenty of olive oil until they reach the state
of softness and transparency.
Add
lots of small button mushrooms, and turn them over in the pan until the
mushrooms are completely covered in the oil.
Add
pepper, salt, a splash of vinegar, and a good dollop of granular mustard. Stir
it all together. Tip the mixture into a serving dish. When cold, drizzle some
olive oil over all.
Before
serving, garnish with some chopped fresh herb – like parsley, mint, lovage, or
thyme leaves.
Crusty bread
at the table to sop up any juices will be appreciated.
Keep this
dish simple to start with, then, if you tire of it, use your imagination to
make a change by adding spices, like curry powder or chilli.
