Serving Options
Vegetarian breakfast: Smash some avocado onto sour dough. Add some crumbled goat’s cheese and top with a generous serve of Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms. Yum!
Not-so-vegetarian breakfast: Add as a side to a café style big breakfast… think bacon, hashbrowns, tomato, eggs and the flavoursome mushrooms.
Hearty chicken lunch: Grill chicken breast fillets or barbeque some chicken kebabs, blanch some green beans and finish with Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms. Healthy and delicious!
Appetising bruschetta: Lightly toast thinly sliced baguette. Spread with goat’s cheese and top with the mushrooms.
Creamy mushroom steak: Add ½ cup cream to the mushrooms after the tamari and simmer for a few minutes. Barbeque steak, cook some greens and top the steak with the creamy mushrooms.
