I love this dish! It needs brown mushrooms rather than your standard supermarket white ones - make this meal whenever you can get your hands on them.

When is mushroom season?
Mushrooms are best in autumn time. I did make this recipe last week though using normal mushrooms. I added more porcini mushrooms and a splash of mushroom ketchup and it still tasted delicious.
Delicious! I had a lovely home grown gift of a leek in my fridge that needed eating so I added that - the kids loved it too!
