Sig's Mushroom in a Basket
- 2 homemade or bought small pancakes
- 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1/4 onion, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, sliced thinly and chopped
- 1 fresh fig if available , or use other fruit like plum , nectarine
- 2 slices ripe papaya or mango
- 2 Good handfuls of fresh spinach .
- 3 thick slices of brie or similar cheese
- 1 large portobello mushroom
- 1/4 teaspoon all purpose seasoning (Knorr Aromat)
- Preheat your oven to 200C .
- Have a large ramekin or ovenproof type dish over which you can hang the pancake with the edges overhanging the bottom when the dish or ramekin is turned upside down.
- When oven is ready put your dish with the pancake into the oven, heat for about 6 minutes , then lay another pancake on top cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes, make sure that they don't brown to much,.
- When you take them out , they might still feel a bit soft but they will harden .
- Separate the baskets.
- One pancake should be a little flatter than the other if not push it down very gently so that it resembles more of a bowl rather than a basket.
- Add a little of the oil into a small pan add the mushroom and cook from path sides until almost cooked , add the brie then let the cheese melt on a low heat until it's all runny, Before serving drain of as much of the mushroom liquid as possible , as it might make the basket soggy.
- In the meantime whilst cooking the pancakes and mushroom , slice the onions, fig and papaya and the garlic.
- Then finely chop the garlic.
- Soften the garlic and onion in a frying pan , add the papaya and figs, just keeping them warm on a very low heat.
- Add the spinach , keep on the heat until the spinach has just wilted.
- Do not use canned or frozen spinach as this will make the baskets soggy
- When all is cooked to your liking assemble the dish , take one pancake and arrange the spinach mixture around the edges
- Rest the other pancake into the middle add the mushroom and garnish with some of the spinach mixture.
- Hope you enjoy .
