Peel and halve the onions, then slice them into ½cm half-moon shapes. Put the oil into a large frying pan over a medium heat and, when hot, add the onions. Fry for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re translucent and just soft enough to cut with a wooden spoon. Many of the more exotic varieties of mushroom are available dried. When reconstituted they have a concentrated flavour. Dried cep Put the cream, eggs and egg yolk in a bowl, season, then combine to form a custard. Fill the tart case with the onion and mushroom mixture and pour over the custard. Don’t worry if a few mushrooms poke out. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the bhajis start to crisp up and brown on top. Remove from the oven – you may need to gently lever them off the foil using a palette knife – and place on a plate alongside some chutney before devouring. First, make the shortcrust pastry.

Remove the dough, knead it a couple of times, then wrap it in clingfilm and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.Mushrooms are harder to identify than plants: there is less to go. And making a similar mistake of the sort that I made with fruit on those occasions with the wrong deadly mushroom, could lead to at least significant morbidity. Porcinci are wild mushrooms native to the Alpine regions of Italy and France (where they are known as ceps). They have a distinctive aroma and rich flavour. Fresh porcini are only available in late summer and autumn so the dried variety is more commonly used. Only a small amount of dried porcini, around 25-50g, is needed to add an intense flavour to a variety of savoury dishes. Waitrose sell dried porcini mushrooms in the Waitrose Cooks' Ingredients range. Cultivated or mixed wild fresh mushrooms can be used instead of porcini. To make the cheese sauce, pour the oat milk into a saucepan, then add the cauliflower, onion and half the garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Allow to cool a little, then carefully blend with the tapioca flour, mustard, yeast, vinegar and turmeric. Season to taste.

While the onions are cooking, prepare the mushrooms. If you are using fresh ceps, first of all wipe them carefully with a damp cloth to remove any excess dirt. Trim off the end of the stalk of each mushroom and, using a small sharp knife, peel the outer layer off each stalk. (Don't be alarmed by the amount you will lose doing this - you should end up with about 1 lb 2 oz/500 g prepared mushrooms.) If you are using large chestnut mushrooms, you just need to wipe them. Add a ladle of the cep and saffron water, and reduce it down, stirring as you go. Remove the rehydrated dried ceps from the water, chop and add to the saucepan. Continue to add the water, a ladle at a time, reducing it each time, whilst constantly stirring. This should take around 20 minutes. Stir in the pom pom mushrooms and the tin of tomatoes and reduce down, again stirring constantly. Mix in the olives and parsley, then season with pepper, and serve.There are two main categories of mushrooms - the familiar cultivated types such as button, chestnut and flat and the more exotic looking wild varieties such as ceps and chanterelles. These creamy-yellow mushrooms are a distinctive frilly trumpet shape with a slightly rubbery texture. They have a firm flesh with a subtle, fruity flavour. Available all year. Drain the churros on a paper towel and, while still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with room-temperature cajeta in a bowl on the side. You can play with the flavours here – using dried seaweed (nori or dulse) instead of ceps and trout or salmon roe instead of truffle makes an equally delicious combination.

Porcini mushrooms have such a beautiful earthy, somewhat nutty flavor reminiscent of forest ground, colorful leaves and damp autumn air. Every season we stroll around the woods looking for these beauties. My dad has a radar for them, I swear it’s almost as if he can smell them miles away. He is a natural talent for detecting porcini mushrooms (smile) and even has a special secret place (well, not so secret any more) up in the woods among pine trees, where a different type of porcini grow, with distinct flavor and darker color. To cook: Sauté in a little butter to release the juices, then turn the heat up to concentrate the flavour. ChestnutTip the mushrooms into a large bowl, then return the pan to the heat, add the remaining oil, and the onion and garlic and fry gently for about 8-10 minutes, until the onion is soft.

They have creamy white caps with pink gills which darken to beige as they grow. Available all year. I don’t know if in your country you can easily find ceps and if they are affordable. In France, ceps season in in Autumn, and they are really expensive. However, we can find dried ceps all year long. Jars of dried ceps might seem a budget but you only need a small quantity to flavor a whole dish. If you do a bit of math and look at the cost per serve, you’ll see that this dish is not that expensive. How to make a perfect French purée with a twist Distribution – 3/5– quite common, though enigmatic, often with a short, intense season (3 weeks around the start of September in Scotland, usually later further south), and rapidly infested/decomposing.
