I love the earthy flavour and meatiness of the mushrooms. Does anyone not like mushrooms on toast? It is such a simple dish, but the depth of the flavour is just beyond imagination. Mushrooms are also a nutrition power house. They are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, low-sodium – safe for everyone! They are rich in B vitamins, important for energy and the nervous system. Minerals rich in mushrooms are selenium, copper, potassium, iron, niacin, riboflavin and more. So it is great for weight management, anti-aging, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, and strong immune system.
For this recipe, I left mushrooms whole when cooked which gives a nice meaty texture outside but still moist and juicy inside. I served on cauliflower “rice” which is crunchy, refreshing and cuts down the spiciness. Enjoy x
