"This is another I've not tried, but it certainly sounds amazingly good. I love shiitake's for the juicy-ness as they retain a lot of moisture. Not to mention their amazing flavour. Can't wait to try it!"

Transfer the foil parcels to four serving plates, open the parcels slightly and serve immediately with a large salad.
