CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN SAUTEED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a cloth.
• Mushrooms are like little sponges so washing them will mean they'll absorb a lot of water.
• Once the mushrooms are clean, melt the butter or add a splash of oil in a large pan set over medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and allow to cook, stirring regularly, until golden brown. If a lot of liquid cooks out, allow to simmer until evaporated.
• Add the garlic , oregano and chilli and cook for a minute then pour in the cream, lemon juice and Parmesan.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Season with salt and pepper and add the parsley then serve.

SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the mushrooms, then fry over a high heat for 3 mins until golden and softened. Add the garlic, fry for 1 min more, then tip into a bowl with the parsley. Add the onion and celery to the pan with the rest of the oil, then fry for 5 mins until lightly coloured.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chilli and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins until thickened. Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti, then drain. Toss with the sauce, top with the garlicky mushrooms, then serve.

BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Spread the minced mushrooms on a clean dish towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Heat the oil in a medium pot over high. Add the mushrooms with a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring every minute or so, until the mushrooms sear to a darker color and any remaining water in the mushrooms has cooked off, about 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and browns slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers, jalapeño and garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and beginning to brown. Add the chile powder, chipotle powder, cumin and cinnamon and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the tomato paste and mix.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the canned diced tomato and its juices, beans, broth, sugar and porcini mushrooms, if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the lid ajar and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Divide among bowls and serve with sour cream and cilantro.
