Wild Mushroom Macaroni Cheese (4)
Macaroni Cheese is great comfort food even if it usually blows the diet. The basic recipe can sometimes benefit from enhancement. This is my slightly simplified version of a recipe by Jimmy Garcia aka ” London’s Pop Up King”. Who would have thought this would be back on restaurant menus!
Oyster mushrooms, or other mushrooms can be used instead of wild mushrooms if preferred.
Croustade of Mushrooms (4)
This is an another old favourite from ” Not just a Load of Old Lentils” by Rose Elliot. There are various versions of this dish on the internet( and indeed Rose herself later updated the recipe to what is probably a healthier version) but this remains my preferred version. I use ready made bechamel sauce mostly these days but you can make it from scratch if preferred- its not tricky, im just a lazy cook at times. I also make the croustade in a food processor rather than the old ” rubbing in ” method. You can use any mushrooms but i prefer chestnut or portabello as they have a good flavour. You could also add in a few wild mushrooms if available at a good price.The dish can also be made with leeks or courgettes. I think this tastes even better the next day if there are any leftovers.
