I love this time of year: pavements sparkling with frost, chilly evenings made for snuggling under a blanket with a good book, greengrocers brimming with autumnal bounty… It’s a time that calls for warming comfort food, and the latest recipe from Kym Grimshaw of On the Plate is just that. It’s packed with earthy mushrooms – my favourite of the season’s spoils – and it works brilliantly as both a lazy weekend brunch and an easy weeknight supper.
Here Kym has used wild mushrooms, which are at their very best at the moment, but a good mix of normal mushrooms works just as well. And if you want to add a little bit of extra indulgence, try grating a few shavings of Parmesan over the top.
Ingredients (serves two)
- Olive oil
- 250g mixed wild mushrooms
- 1 small red onion
- 150ml single cream
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Ciabatta
- Balsamic glaze and greens to serve (optional)
Method
- Heat a pan to a medium-high heat while you prepare the mushrooms. Roughly chop any larger mushrooms, otherwise keep whole. Finely slice the onion.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and soften the onion for five minutes or so, until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for another five minutes, stirring every now and again.
- Add the paprika, along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for one minute more, before adding the cream to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
- Serve on hot toasted ciabatta with a handful of micro-greens or parsley and plenty of balsamic glaze.
Kym will share another delicious recipe next month. In the meantime, there’s plenty more food inspiration over at On the Plate.
