I love mushrooms, I can’t get enough of them – breakfast, lunch or dinner – they are a welcome inclusion to any meal. I especially love mushroom sauce/gravy, the pub kind is particularly delicious atop a perfectly cooked steak. Without heading out the pub every time I wanted this and to cut out unneeded  additives

Ingredients

• 2 tbs of olive oil
• 1 tsp of crushed garlic
• 1 cup of thinly sliced brown mushrooms
• 150ml of lite thickened cream – you can add more if you like it extra saucy
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat, add garlic and stir until fragrant.
2. Add mushrooms and stir to coat and allow to brown slightly, approx. 2 minutes. Pop a lid on the pan and allow the mushrooms to soften and appear golden, approximately 4 minutes, stirring to ensure they don’t burn or stick.
3. Remove lid, season with salt and pepper, add cream and stir until the cream reduces slightly or you can’t resist eating it!.

Best served atop a medium-rare steak, steamed greens and my delicious white bean and chickpea ‘mash’.

Enjoy xx
