About

Ideally, this mushroom and minced beef dish will include woodland mushrooms, such as cep or girolle, but cultivated mushrooms are also very good. Use flat rather than button mushrooms, as they have more flavour. The same mixture can also be formed into patties and fried in a little butter.

Ingredients

150 g/5 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
