This is a great weekday vegetarian dish that wont disappoint on flavour! garlic mushrooms should never be underestimated and it will remain one of my favourite comfort foods.
Theres nothing complicated about this recipe and it’s doesn’t call for a lot of ingredients making it quite cheap too. My husband is a
total carnivore (I am a lot more flexible) so I added some cooked sliced chicken to his aswel. I always aim to please! This would also work well
with The addition of any leftover veg you might have kicking around in the fridge like a courgette, pepper or some fresh kale too.
If there is any leftovers, I guarantee it‘a even better the next day with some crusty bread on the side!
