Now bear in mind, my Significant Other won’t do Mushrooms, Corn (although he loves polenta ~ must be a textural thing) or raw fish. So whenever he’s gone for any length of time my two particular favourites are: Angel Hair Pasta With Tuna and NIgella Lawson’s Hot Mushroom Sandwich: ” Get a large, flat field mushroom. Put in a preheated 200 C/Gas 6 oven covered with butter, chopped garlic and parsley for about 20 minutes. When ready, and garlicky, buttery juices are oozing with black, cut open two soft rolls, and wipe the cut side all over the pan to soak up the pungent juices. Smear with Dijon mustard, top with the mushrooms, squeeze with lemon juice, and add some chopped parsley or lettuce as you like and eat.” De-bloody-licious.
