HOME GROWN MUSHROOMS

Miguel and I bought a "grow-your-own" mushroom kit from the garden shop a few weeks ago and are now able to reap the benefits. After daily spraying of water in a sunny room that doesn't reach over 25'C, covered with a plastic bag to form the condensation, we have grown our first round of white oyster mushrooms and its fantastic.

Its so much more rewarding having a dinner with the produce that you have grown either from your garden or from a box( ha ha).

So dinner tonight will be a simple home- grown garlic and butter sauteed mushroom pasta and I think I will use the tomato and chili flavoured linguine I got from Italy.

REMEMBER 2 rules when cooking mushrooms...

1. Always cook your mushrooms in butter, the nutty butter flavour compliments the mushrooms well
2. always finish your cooking of mushrooms with a good squeeze of lemon, this adds a nice bite to the lemons and cuts through the butter as well.

If you remember these 2 rules your mushrooms will always be delectable.
