Tasty Tapas: Ajillo Mushrooms

I never thought I'd say it, but I've got a little bit bored of baking cupcakes. Sometimes it really does seem like that's aaaaaaall I cook. But, I've got a bit of a savoury craving at the moment. After cooking tapas for a dinner party yesterday, I whipped up a very simple mushroom aljillo (very handy for the vegetarians amongst you). The dish is full of flavour and so easy to make. And here's how:

You'll need these things:
  • 1 pack button mushroom, quartered
  • Four cloves garlic
  • 3tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • 1/2tsp paprika
  • 1/2 chilli
And you'll need to do these things:

Pop everything into a pan on a low heat, continue stirring until the mushrooms are cooked through completely. Takes about 15 minutes to really get the flavour to come through, but they're very tasty indeed. You can put sherry in the pan as well if you have any, but I've never noticed a huge different with or without it.

A lovely, simple dish that's well worth taking your time over.
