Easy Garlic Mushrooms

Who doesn't like garlic mushrooms? If you haven't made these yet they are quite easy and tasty. Make sure that the garlic cloves are a good size in here! Use the closed cup or button mushrooms, and only fresh and white ones. Use the curly parsley in here too, not the flat leaf, as the curly parsley has a far superior taste! I like this with the Lurpak or Kerrygold butter, but again use your favourite butter. We usually have this with maybe a fresh salad, and garlic bread can be good here too, to mop up the juices. Though you can also have these with potato wedges and green beans which is good. Or just make small potions and serve as a starter!! Garlic has numerous health benefits too, including boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure and reducing cholesterol to name but a few. So why not give them a go!

How to make a Mushroom and Fennel Stew Cooked in Cider Vegan? cider?

 This recipe started out in a cookbook. I thought it had potential. Half of the ingredients though I couldn't source the first time I made it. So I improvised and made it with mixed dried mushrooms etc, and when it was finished it tasted gorgeous. So I thought next time I will make it and obtain the real ingredients. When I did do this , the taste was SO bland! I wouldn't have entertained it. So it was by fate alone that this recipe saw the light of day at all here. The dried mixed mushrooms with their different textures give it a very beef like casserole appearance, and they also provide a similar chewiness. This is one of the special dishes and it just goes so great with some mashed potatoes, for a traditional Sunday dinner style meal.  You could serve it up with new potatoes instead, and you can also have it with chips as featured here!! When it is cooked the alcohol content disappears, so you could finish up the meal with the leftover Cider as the side drink!
