Garlicky good
I fancied something light for tea tonight, and those mushrooms just looked so good!
- Garlic Oil
Yup, I decided to put the Garlic Oil through its paced by grilling a big box of little portabella mushrooms with some wanky salt and a generous dosing of the pungent oil. I served them on toasted rustic bread (generic supermarket stuff) with a good squeeze of lemon juice and loads of parsley.
Surprisingly, whilst I used quite a good slug of the oil, it was the lemon juice that provided the dominant flavour. The garlic was present but you didn’t get that really satisfying garlicky hit. On the other hand, I won’t deny that we do probably both stink right now!!
Yes…they were as good as they look.
Lately I have been using this wanky salt ( http://www.realsalt.com/about.cfm ) and it’s lovely.
