A Recipe To Enjoy....


This is one of my favourite recipes that is truly simple, tasty and fun to make! Make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and if you do decide to give it go make sure to send us your pictures of the final product.

Organic Mushrooms Alla Puttanesca with Espeletter Pepper

First we select local organic and super fresh mushrooms like lobster mushrooms or oyster mushrooms, and drizzle them with good olive oil from Spain. Then make sure to roast them in the oven for 20 minutes to concentrate their flavors and allow them to get SEXY as I say!

We then dice up some spanish onions(only fresh spanish onions will do here) with garlic, anchovies, baby grape tomatoes, capers, dried olives and fry them all up. At this point we add the roasted mushrooms and saute it all together for 3 minutes, then add 1/2 tsp espelette chilli powder from the Basque region.

This will all be served with lots or grated pecorino romano and a glass of Spanish tempranillo from La Rioja Spain. Delicious!

The one secret ingredient I also add at the end to top the mushrooms is "Guanciale Fritto" (crispy pig cheeks), and that allows the whole dish to transform into Mushrooms Alla Amatriciana Con Guanciale...hahaha.

If you take a look at this recipe closely, it is all about simplicity. We are only using 7 ingredients and of course LOT'S of care and great music in the background to keep us inspired!!
