About

What could be easier than a dish that requires no cooking? Well, almost no cooking: the marinade must be heated and it in turn ‘cooks’ the mushrooms overnight.

Method

Place the marinade ingredients in a small pan and simmer for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool thoroughly. Combine the cooled marinade with the whole mushrooms and leave to marinate overnight.

When ready to serve the mushrooms, drain them and discard the marinade. Garnish with the spring onions.
