Baked field mushrooms with garlic and thyme
(1)
20 min
This is a lovely side dish for pan fried or griddled steak or chicken. I often do these at the same time as some baked tomato halves to go with steak and chips. The juices are delicious poured over the steak. I usually do two per person, and this is how I do them - hope you like it.

- Pre-heat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Twist the stalks out of the mushrooms, and wipe away any dirt from the caps with damp kitchen paper, but do NOT WASH - mushrooms are like sponges, and will soak up the water, ruining their texture and flavour.
- Place the mushrooms cap side down, gills up in a medium oven-proof dish. Insert slivers of garlic into the gills of the mushrooms, and scatter over plenty of fresh thyme (or around 2 tablespoons dried thyme). Dot the mushrooms with butter, season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for around 15 to 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
Tip
Dried thyme will do, but don't use as much - the flavour is much stronger than fresh.
