Mushroom and Potato Layer




Source of Recipe


the web


List of Ingredients




about 2 medium sized potatoes per person
about 5 large-ish mushrooms per person
groundnut (or other) oil
1-2 cloves garlic (to taste)
Black pepper
mushroom ketchup
vegetarian gravy granules
1 Marmite stock cube or Marmite to taste
No extra salt necessary.



Recipe



Put the oven on medium hot, about 350F degrees.

Either scrub or peel the appropriate amount of potatoes, then cut into slices a few millimeters thick. Wash and slice the mushrooms similarly.

Put enough oil (depending on amount being made - for 4 people I would use about 2 tablespoons) into an all-purpose casserole dish with lid (one that can be used on the hob and in the oven). Add crushed garlic, and when the oil is hot add the sliced mushrooms and cook over a medium heat for a few minutes until reduced and producing liquid but not browned. Add a generous splosh of mushroom ketchup. Then sprinkle on and stir in enough gravy granules a little at a time, adding a little water, to make a thickened (but not too thick) sauce. The sauce needs to be thin enough to provide liquid for the potatoes to absorb. Add the marmite stock cube and black pepper to taste. Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed together and remove from heat.

Add the sliced potatoes in layers over the mixture, put a lid on the casserole dish and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes (check after 30 minutes).

Serve with your favourite vegetables (peas go well and add a good colour).

A delicious vegetable accompaniment for this meal which can be oven cooked at the same time is baked carrot and swede. Simply scrub/peel and chop (into about 1" pieces) roughly 1 large carrot and 1 quarter of a medium swede per person, place together in an appropriate size oven-proof dish with lid. Add a small splosh of water (not much water is needed as liquid is produced as the vegetables cook), a few small knobs of butter on the top and black pepper. Put the lid on the dish and cook in the oven at the same time as the mushroom and potato bake and voila! A tasty, healthy, warm and filling meal for all the family!
