Mushroom Ragout with Lardons and Roasted Garlic

Ease of Preparation: Easy

Yield: 6 servings

Method:

Preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit

Place a whole head of garlic on a baking tray in the oven and leave to roast for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, clean and prepare the mushrooms. Remove and dirt with a mushroom brush and cut off the woody stems. Cut the button mushrooms into halves or quarters depending on their size and break the other mushrooms apart into bite-sized pieces.

Fry the lardons in a pan. Once crispy and the fat has rendered, remove them and set aside. Fry the mushrooms, starting with the densest ones that take longer to cook first, and cook them for a couple of minutes, tossing all the time. If you need more fat, add a small knob of butter. Put the Portobello cap on the hot grill.

Remove the garlic head from the oven and chop off the top with a pair of scissors. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the pan with the mushrooms. Add the crème fraiche and chopped parsley. Stir well and serve in a grilled Portobello mushroom or in potato baskets.
