Mushrooms and baked potatoes
Presentation
Today we are cooking in foil, a very versatile cooking methodology that allows you to cook from meat to pasta to vegetables. Here we will prepare mushrooms and potatoes, a recipe in full Italian style that I am sure you will like very much. All you need is a bit of potatoes, mixed mushrooms, the typical Mediterranean aromas and you're done!Ingredients:
- 300g of mixed mushrooms (cardoncelli / pioppini / chanterelles / champignons / porcini mushrooms)
- 400g of potatoes
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- aromatic herbs as required (sage / rosemary / oregano / marjoram)
- chilli pepper as required
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- olive oil to taste
Preparation:
After having cleaned them carefully, 1 cut the mushrooms into pieces of about 4 centimeters and 2 then season them with olive oil, salt and pepper. 3 Then peel the potatoes and also cut them into 3-4 centimeter pieces.
4 Add olive oil, chilli pepper, garlic and bay leaves to a pan and sauté the potatoes over high heat for a few minutes until they are golden brown. 5 Finally add the mushrooms to the pan and cook them together with the potatoes for 1 minute. 6 Cut two sheets of baking paper at least 30x30 centimeters and distribute half the mushrooms and potatoes on each, then season them with aromatic herbs, olive oil and salt.
7 Join the 4 edges of the sheet and close tightly, twisting to form a small bag 8 which you will then need to tie with roasting twine. At this point all you have to do is bake at 180°C for 15 minutes. If you decide to open the parcel before serving it at the table, you could take advantage of 9 by stirring it up a little and raising the mushrooms and potatoes which may have spread to the bottom during cooking.
Advise
- Pre-cooking the potatoes : when browning in the pan, bring the potatoes more or less halfway through cooking.
- Table service : you can serve the package still closed, so when the diners open it they will be inebriated by all the aromas of the dish.
- Accompaniment : you can accompany this parcel with white rice or polenta for a vegetarian meal, or with fish or a grilled steak.
