Ingredients

  • 500g chestnut or button mushrooms, halved
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Crusty bread, to serve
  • Flaky sea salt to taste

Method

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the mushrooms in 2 batches for 5 minutes each until golden and any liquid has evaporated. Season with salt.

  2. Return all the mushrooms to the pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil, the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

  3. Add the sherry and let it bubble for 1 minute. Scatter over the parsley and serve hot with crusty bread.
