Garlic Mushrooms

Owning a small boat with limited cooking facilities does bring about some interesting culinary challenges. We like to experiment with the meals we eat onboard and try out new recipes and methods of cooking onboard.

During our last trip we bought some very nice sirloin steaks and whilst deciding on suitable accompaniments to the steak we were inspired to try making some garlic mushrooms. At home we would do these in the oven but we don’t have an oven onboard, so we had to improvise.

For this recipe you will need some mushrooms, we used large flat mushrooms, butter, mixed herbs, cheese and garlic granules. Mix together the butter, herbs, garlic and cheese and spread a generous dollop onto each mushroom, filling the gilled area with the mixture. Stick the mushrooms under the grill for 10 minutes and they should be ready to enjoy. The butter mixture should have by this point seeped into the mushrooms ensuring that each mouthful is a garlic filled experience.

These homemade garlic mushrooms were a real revelation to us and are certainly going to be added to our range of boating meals. We like to eat well whilst we are onboard and we enjoy trying out new recipes and meals. Cooking onboard doesn’t have to be boring nor basic, you just need to be adventurous with your meals and try out new recipes along the way.

Enjoy.
