Mushrooms

Take mushroom, curl slice of cheese around it, curl a strip of bacon around that, impale on a toothpick, dump in frying pan, season.
 
Sounds nice, Debbie.

I also did some search of my own and came up with this one:

I made mushroom kebabs on the braai coupla weeks ago. Olive oil, Cajun spice, rosemary, thyme. Or experiment with different herbs and spices. Just mix herbs and spices into olive oil and brush onto kebabs. maybe alternate shrooms with rosa tomatoes, pineapple slices, sweet peppers or whatever veggies you feel like.

Pop kebabs onto the grill for 5min and chow. Works in oven too.

I love Stilton and Mushroom on Bruschetta as a snack or starter:

Cream
Stilton
Mushrooms
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg


(the cooking part should be self explanatory)

Toasted Bruschetta rubbed with whole garlic.

Chopped flat leaf parsley on the top.



Enjoy...

A good mushroom risotto is still one of my all time favourite dishes - lufferly stuff!!!
 
I ended up making the mushroom pilaf (I posted the recipe a page back) and it turned out lovely.

DJK: I love risotto but it is much too fattening.
