- To make creamy mushroom sauce for steak etc sauté one or two garlic cloves with the mushrooms then add 150mls cream and simmer for about 10 minutes until thick (keep an eye on it, you don’t want to boil the cream) and season with freshly ground pepper and more salt if needed.
- To make mushroom & red wine sauce for steak, roasts etc cook the mushrooms in oil then add 250ml of red wine, a sprig of thyme and boil down to reduce to half. Add any pan scraping from cooking the meat (you can loosen with a little boiling water. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 30g butter if liked before serving.
- Mushrooms love curry flavours, add a teaspoon of curry powder, freshly ground cumin and coriander or a handful of curry leaves at the beginning of cooking. You can stir in a can of tomatoes and a spoon of plain yoghurt for a quick mushroom curry.
