I had the idea for these amazing mushrooms the other day while looking for a tasty accompaniment to have with my Aubergine Kievs.
(Click HERE for recipe).
I happened to have some large portabello mushrooms and a couple of red onions that needed using up, and I always have a large basil plant on my kitchen windowsill...
1-2-3 and these babies were invented!
You only have to look at the vibrant colours in this dish to know it's going to be good for you....and the flavours-nothing clever, very simple but totally and utterly delicious! Somehow, these 3 ingredients combine to bring out the best in each other.
I'll be serving these with grilled meats, fish and vegetarian dishes all year round.
