    Perfect mushrooms on toast

    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 5 minutes
    • Cooking time: 10 minutes
    • Total time: 15 minutes 15 minutes

    Serves: 2

    Ingredients

    15g unsalted butter, plus extra for spreading
    1 tbsp olive oil
    300g chestnut mushrooms, wiped clean and halved or quartered
    1 garlic clove, crushed
    ½ tsp wholegrain mustard
    3 tbsp crème fraîche
    4 sprigs tarragon
    2 thick slices bread

    Method

    1. Put the butter in a large frying pan with the olive oil and set over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms, season, then fry for 4-5 minutes, so that the liquid is released and they start to colour a little. Stir in the garlic, fry for a couple of minutes, then stir in the mustard and crème fraîche. Gently cook for about a minute until heated through, then remove from the heat. Tear in the tarragon leaves. 

    2. Meanwhile, toast the bread. Butter the toast and put on 2 plates. Divide the mushrooms between the toast slices and serve straight away. This is delicious as it is, or with an egg on top if liked.

    Waste not: Tarragon Finely chop and beat into softened butter with garlic and lemon juice. Use to stuff whole trout before grilling or melt over cooked steak or roasted vegetables.
