STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Ingredients:

2 large field mushrooms

Mushroom pate

Pesto

Cayenne pepper to taste

Method:

Using the back of a spoon, spread the inside of the mushroom with the pate, and cover that with a teaspoon - or less, you don’t need a lot - of pesto. Squash any stalk - broken up a bit - into the pesto. Sprinkle with Cayenne pepper.

Microwave for about 5 minutes, until the mushroom is soft. Serve with potato wedges and veg.

Cost (early 2024):

Mushrooms 49p/100g, so - 250g = £1.25
Tartex pate (from my local HFS) is £3.50/200g and you'll need about 50g = 90p

1 teaspoon vegan pesto = 20p

Total £2.35

Bottom: covered with homemade passata
