Hot mushroom sandwich

This is perfect for times at uni as it so easy to make for just one person and be polished off in one sitting, as opposed to the usual dilemma of having to eat the same thing for what seems like weeks, where when you finally reach the final portion, it is looking more than a little ropey. This recipe is so achingly simple but has a real meaty, fleshy quality about it

You'll need:

1 large portobello flat mushroom

A knob of butter

A garlic clove

A handful of basil leaves (I used greek basil but it doesn't matter too much)

A crusty roll e.g. baguette or ciabatta.

Whack your oven onto 190.


In a small bowl, mix the butter in with a crushed garliv clove and the torn basil leaves, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. 

Pull the stalk from your mushroom, stick it under the tap and wipe it to make sure there's no mud left on it.  Smother your butter in the black part of the mushroom, place face up on a tray and bake for 10-15 minutes.


When ready, slice the mushroom lengthways and place in your bread (Use the top part of the bread to mop any run-away juices)


Mmmmmmm.....
