Love veggies? Love mushrooms? Here’s Jamie’s super simple mushroom bake, good as a starter, or as a substantial lunch or supper “snack”. The recipe comes from 5 Ingredients, Jamie Oliver’s great book. I’m gradually working my way through it!
It takes minimum time to prepare and to cook. I made the dish last weekend, in between some cake and brownie baking. I had the first half warm on sourdough toast and the other half the next night just as it was. Delish!
Ingredients
4 cloves of garlic
½ a bunch of fresh sage (15g)
350g ripe mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
4 large portobello mushrooms
40g Cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Peel and very finely slice the garlic. Pick the sage leaves. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel the mushrooms, reserving the peel.
Place it all (peel included) in a 25cm x 30cm roasting tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and toss together. Pick out 12 perfect garlic slices and sage leaves for later and sit the mushrooms stalk side up on the top. Bake for IO minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven, crumble the cheese into the mushroom cups and sprinkleover the reserved garlic and sage*. Return to the oven for I5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and everything’s golden then serve up.
*I added some rosemary sprigs too, as rosemary works well with sage.
