baked mushrooms

servings
4

method

These mushrooms have an interesting meaty texture and gutsy flavour. Topped with Taleggio cheese and fresh herbs, it's a match made in heaven. Go on, tuck in!

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.

Lay the mushrooms on a large baking tray and sprinkle with the onions, garlic and thyme.

Top the mushrooms with the slices of Taleggio. Toss together the breadcrumbs and the parsley and sprinkle over the mushrooms.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven until breadcrumbs are brown and the mushrooms are cooked through.

Meanwhile, dress the rocket with the lemon juice and some olive oil. Serve the mushrooms with the dressed rocket.

PS. They’re great on toasted ciabatta too!

ingredients

• 8 large flat mushrooms
• a bunch of spring onions, trimmed and sliced
• 1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
• a few sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
• 250g Taleggio cheese, thinly sliced
• 2 thick slices of bread, made into breadcrumbs
• a small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 4 handfuls of rocket, washed and dried
• juice of 1 lemon
• extra virgin olive oil

I just had this. Couldn't get hold of Tallegio cheese anywhere so substituted it for Gouda, blooming delicious. Could do with some tips on how to stop the mushrooms looking anemic when they come out of the oven. Also, does anyone know where I can get some Tallegio cheese from?

Cooked this the other night, and it was ace!

Varied it up a little by trying different cheeses, Stilton (so gooooood), Goats cheese, anything i could get my hands on really.

Very nice and suprisingly filling too.
Cheers Jamie

Love to watch your shows and try out some of your recipes to make my cooking (a passion) sightly different.
Could you please, please, please send me your recipe for mushrooms (the one you prepared outdoors for a friend while gathering mushrooms), served on toast.
Also the recipe for the risotto you prepared in the same "mushroom show".
Would appreciate your attention. Thanks a million,
