Mushrooms freshly fried with garlic and chilli are exceptionally good. If you can't get wild mushrooms, a mixture of brown and portobello will be just fine. The hint of chilli adds a wee bit of heat, and plenty of freshly ground pepper is a must.

Ingredients

400 gWild mushrooms (Main)
8 TbspOlive oil
2Garlic cloves, 1 crushed
1Red chilli, finely chopped
1 TbspMarjoram
1 TbspChopped parsley
4 slicesBread, use a good-quality rustic bread

Directions

  1. Chop the mushrooms roughly.
  2. Heat 6 Tbsp oil in a frying pan. Fry the crushed garlic and chilli for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few minutes so they still retain their texture.
  3. Add the parsley, marjoram, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toast the sliced bread, rub with the remaining garlic clove and brush with the extra olive oil.
  5. Top with the warm mushrooms and serve immediately.
