Warm salad of mushrooms with many olives

“This is the way I believe mushrooms should be served – simply, without lots of other flavours competing for attention, allowing the true essence of the mushroom to shine through.”

Warm salad of mushrooms with many olives

Serves 6
Cooking Time Prep time 10 mins, cook 5 mins
100 ml   chicken stock
40 ml   (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil
