The best mushroom recipe

I live in constant hope that the day will come when my daughter will start appreciating vegetables more.

At present, she is staunch 6 year old non-vegetarian who has grown up watching cookery shows such as Masterchef Australia and leafing through covers of BBC Good Food Magazine, Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsey's books. She probably learnt about pork ribs, well-done steaks, chicken kababs and fish tikkas even before she learnt her alphabets.

Not to mention the annual trips to various cities and countries where she gets exposed to local cuisine ranging from "Meen Moilee" (kerala style fish) to "Spaghetti bolognese" (Italian spaghetti recipe with beef).

So the poor vegetables have a tough task at hand competing with the fancy fishes, chunky chickens, tasty turkeys and the wide world of non-vegetarian delicacies that my daughter is hooked on to.

So, when I chance upon a vegetarian dish that she likes, I am thrilled and want to share with other mothers who might be in the same boat.

This is a mushroom dish that I chanced upon in BBC Good Food Magazine and added some of my own   flavors to. My daughter simply adores this dish. The recipe is mentioned below:

Mushroom Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• Mushroom
• Garlic 
• Onion
• Fresh cream
• Mustard sauce
• Parsley
• Chilli flakes

Method:

• Cut mushroom into pieces. I generally steam them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes first.
• In a non-stick frying pan add 1 tsp of olive oil
• Add onions and freshly grated garlic
• After onions are cooked, add the mushrooms and saute them
• You can little bit of salt at this stage
• Add fresh cream and mustard sauce so that the mushrooms are not dry and are just covered in the sauce
• Turn down the heat and let the dish cook for about 10 minutes till mushrooms are soft
• Add parsley leaves and chilli flakes. Chilli flakes can make it spicy so you can add as much as the child's palate would allow.

Serve with rice or simply as an evening snack.

Hope other kids enjoy this simple yet tasty recipe too.
