CREAMY GARLIC-MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and set aside.
• Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet. Add butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in onions and saute until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and toss to thoroughly coat with the butter-onion-garlic mixture. Season with nutmeg and pepper and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Combine chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Stir into mushroom mixture, pour in heavy cream, stir in reserved bacon, and simmer until sauce is bubbly and thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Adjust seasoning and serve immediately garnished with chopped parsley.

CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOMS AND BACON

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to soak up some of the oil. Set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, drizzle with oil and mix through, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown mushrooms and release their juices (if any).
• Pour in the wine (or broth) and let reduce for 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring. (Preheat broiler or oven grill.)
• Add in the garlic and stir it through for a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the cream and herbs. Reduce heat down to low. Gently simmer until tender (about 4-5 minutes) and sauce is slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the bacon back in and give everything a good mix to combine all of the flavours together. Top the mushrooms with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
• Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly and mushrooms are done to your liking (about 3-5 minutes).
• Serve warm.

CREAMY GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a flat, shallow frying pan and place over a gentle heat. Finely slice the garlic and shallots and add to the pan. Fry gently for a few minutes, stirring occasionally and ensuring the garlic and shallots do not start to brown or burn.
• Prepare your mushrooms by gently wiping any dirt from their surfaces with a piece of kitchen towel - never wash mushrooms as they will absorb the water and become slimy. Slice the mushrooms into chunky pieces and add to the pan, stirring so that they become coated with the oil.
• Once the mushrooms have all started to colour, pour the glass of wine into the pan and turn the heat up so that the alcohol burns off and the liquid starts to reduce.
• After a few minutes, the mushrooms should be cooked, so turn the heat back down quite low and add the cream to the pan along with black pepper according to taste. Stir everything around and heat gently for a couple of minutes.
• Preheat the grill to high.
• Transfer the mushrooms and cream mixture to two shallow, heat-proof dishes. Spinkle the grated cheese over the top of each and place the dishes under the grill. Keep an eye on these so that they don't start to burn - it should only take a couple of minutes for the cheese to be browned and bubbling.
• Stand each dish on a large plate (don't forget to warn guests how hot the dishes will be!) and serve with granary toast for mopping up the sauce.
• Variations:
• Reduced fat cream such as Elmlea works perfectly in this dish if you are counting calories. You could also omit the cheese and skip instruction point 6.
• For a slightly sharper taste, try using creme fraiche in place of the cream.
• To make the dish more substantial, try using finely sliced baby leeks in place of the shallots.
• If you are fond of blue cheese, you could grate a strong cheese such as stilton over the mushrooms before grilling - this produces a much richer dish.
