The button mushrooms bring a satisfying umami depth, so even the non-veggo's will be satisfied and not missing the meat!

Make this simple appetiser ahead of your next drinks and nibbles, it will store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ cup walnuts 
  • 250g button mushrooms (brown or white)
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 
  • 2 tsp dried parsley

  • 1 tsp soy sauce 
  • Salt 
  • Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Slice the mushrooms, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat a frying pan to medium heat. Add the walnuts into the dry frying pan and toast for 2-3 minutes shaking the pan often. Remove the toasted walnuts from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil into the pan, then throw in the onions and garlic and sauté until soft and translucent.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, parsley and thyme and cook for a further 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Add the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste (the soy sauce will be salty so go easy on the salt!)
