Mushroom Recipe #4

Creamy Mushrooms

These creamy mushrooms have a hint of balsamic vinegar and tomato, to give them even more flavour.

They're ideal with toast, for a light lunch, or maybe as a jacket potato topping.

If you've really got lots of mushrooms, you can make up a double batch and then use it as a variation in potato au gratin.

It takes less than 10 minutes and tastes delicious with whichever variety of mushrooms you've got in stock.

So if your veg box has delivered you an overload of fresh mushrooms, you could try this one out - and let us know what you think - rate it.
