Champiñones al ajillo
  A traditional tapa favourite and deservedly so in our opinion!  
     
 
  • 1/2 kg mushrooms
  • 100 ml oil
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1/3 tsp pimenton picante
  • 1/3 tsp pimenton dulce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
 
 

1) Clean the mushrooms. Slice if large or quarter if small.
2) Heat the oil in a frying pan or earthenware casserole and sauté the mushrooms, adding the chopped cloves of garlic after a few minutes and the pimenton.
3) When mushrooms are cooked, about 10 minutes, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley.

Serves approx 4 as a side dish or starter, ideally server as one dish in a cazuela to share with bread

Pimenton dulce, Pimenton picante and high quality Olive oil are available from Saborear
