    • Reviews

  • “This is a great way to present mushrooms. I do not make onions, ginger, garlic and nuts into a paste. I just chop them well.”

  • “These are delicious! Lots of nice spicy ‘stuff’ but not too much that it overwhelms the delicate flavour of the mushrooms. I used a paprika/cayenne mixture as my ‘red chili.’ I pureed the onion with the garlic and ginger first, and then cooked it, but otherwise made them as described. I will make these again, for sure!”

  • “Very good even though I didn’t have any cashews on hand and i just crushed almonds. I have made this dish a couple times now.”

  • “Excellent recipe! I skipped the poppy seeds as its illegal to have them here. I also left the onions in slices. My only mistake was to cut back on the chili powder as I was afraid it would be too spicy. Am going to use the full amount the next time. Thanks!”

  • “The directions were a little vague for me, but the results were delicious.Made a nice lunch served with whole wheat pita.”

  • “Wonderful recipe, Char. I forgot to get cashews so I left them out. Also, I did not make onions into a paste, but just kept them in slices. I also used cayenne for the red chili powder. Very complex and subtle flavors in this dish–really complement the mushrooms. My fiance and I both enjoyed this immensely!! Thank you! “
