 Such an easy to make yet impressive looking entree!

IngredientsCIMG0129 (Small).JPG

  • 2 – 3 field mushrooms per person
  • Olive Oil
  • Shaved parmesan
  • Rocket
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Butter

Method

  1. Clean or peel mushrooms and place in a single layer on an oven tray.
  2. Place half a teaspoon (or more if you can spare it!) of butter in the centre of each mushroom. I’ve seen Jamie Oliver use flavoured butter to do this – mixing herbs and chilli into it.
  3. Bake in 200 degree oven for 20 mins or until the mushrooms soften and start releasing their juices
  4. Meanwhile, wash the rocket leaves and toss with the parmesan. Then dress with the olive oil and balsamic. Toss.
  5. Just before serving, stack the mushrooms on top of each other on a plate. Layer some rocket salad on top.
  6. Drizzle extra balsamic around the plate if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
