    • Reviews

  • “This is a sad way to kill a mushroom.”

  • “An unusual mushroom dish, quite unlike any other I have tried before.The mushrooms were equally tasty warm or at room temperature.I sautéed the mushrooms in a tablespoon of oil with two cloves of finely chopped garlic in a non-stick pan until they were just tender, then transferred them to an ovenproof dish in a very slow oven.I wasn’t sure just how they’d come out, but the flavours blended well and they were very tasty.We ate some warm with homegirl’s Unfried Chinese Rice Recipe #123658, for a really low fat meal, and I ate what was left next day at room temperature. Not my favourite mushroom dish, but as appetisers, as Miller suggested, a great low-fat option. “
