Mushrooms

Wow! Look at our bucket of beautiful, brown, button mushrooms.


Addy and her mum gave them to us, to grow in Room 2.

  1. We like this mushroom sauce on our steak.
    1 Shallot chopped finely
    3 cloves of garlic chopped finely
    250g button mushrooms
    1/2 c salt reduced chicken stock
    1 t red or white wine vinegar
    1/2 c cream
    1 t wholegrain mustard
    1 t chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
    salt and freshly cracked black pepper
    1/2 c chopped bacon

    Heat 1 t of oil over a medium heat, add the bacon and fry until crispy. Drain the excess fat from the pan, reduce the heat to medium low and add the shallot and garlic. cook for a few minutes until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and vinegar, then let everything simmer away to reduce by half.
    Add the cream, mustard and rosemary or thyme. simmer for another 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and is a nice consistency for pouring onto a steak. Taste and season with salt and a crack of pepper.
