Again, it’s Monday! I’m tired and hungry and need some fast but healthy food. I’ve been working away all weekend and whilst the food was free and delicious, it was generally junk (not complaining!!) So mushroom ‘steak’ and chips it is. As you can see there are very few ingredients to bother with and half of these are cupboard/freezer staples.

Ingredients

4 large mushrooms

2 cloves of garlic (chopped)

Olive oil

2/3 potatoes (depending on how hungry you are)

Frozen peas

Tinned sweetcorn

Salt & pepper

What to do

Firstly chop the potatoes into chip sized pieces. Put these in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir until the potatoes are well coated then lay these on a baking sheet in a single layer so they cook evenly.

Now prep the mushrooms. Remove the stalks and place on a baking sheet. Pour over olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic and a little salt and pepper.

Put the chips on a higher shelf in the oven and the mushrooms lower down. Cook on 180 for around 30 minutes or a little longer if needed.

In the meantime, boil the peas and sweetcorn and chop some salad.

In around half an hour or so you’ve got yourself a nutritious and delicious dinner.

Four mushrooms and three potatoes was a huge amount for the two of us so I would generally work on two mushrooms and one potato per person with all the accompaniments being enough.
