Mushroom Brioches

Brioches rolls make an unusual and attractive shell for this rich mushroom filling. Any combination of mushrooms can be used- look out for packets of mixed exotic mushrooms in supermarkets.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Red Onion, sliced
  • 1 Red Pepper deseeded and diced
  • 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
  • 175g Brown Chestnut Mushrooms sliced

  • 50g Shiitake Mushrooms
  • 150ml Red Wine
  • 150ml Vegetable Stock
  • 2 tbsp Cranberry Sauce
  • 4 Brioche Rolls
  • Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion, red pepper and garlic over a gentle heat until soft and cooked
  2. Add the remaining oil to the pan and gently fry the mushrooms until soft and browned
  3. Stir in the red wine, stock, cranberry sauce and seasoning and simmer for 10 -15 mins until reduced to a thick syrup
  4. While the sauce is reducing, slice the tops from the brioche rolls and using a spoon scoop out the bread from inside
