I grilled (uk) which is under heat between the hob & oven so didn't need all the oil mix (thought I kept it for next time). The mushrooms (with gills) were gorgeous & moist. I served with 'hot German salad' from this site as well as grilled asparagus like the pic above & sprialised courgettes & spaghetti verde (in case I had it wrong). Also had chicken & red peppers as per pic, served with lots of salad veg too,mushrooms are yum factor 80!!

Mmmm! the taste of pesto tomatoes with the feta cheese is out of this world. I just sneaked a wee bit of chopped red pepper in also, I didn't bother with a bun and just served them with a side salad and they made a wonderful lunch, I also used a mix of italian herbs that you are supposed to use on focaccia bread but it was so tasty on these. very very nice Loof recommended them to me and am really pleased about that thanks Loof.Thank you for posting made for Honor thy Mother May 2011

I grew up in rural east Texas and Louisiana before being transplanted to the beautiful state of Kentucky at the age of 17....so for the most part, my 'hard drive' is programmed for rich, southern style food. Recipes for things like mashed potatoes, cream gravy, pot roast, chicken fried steak and chili are burned in to my DNA!! ?I will never deny my love for rich, southern foods and I'm not a fan of stripping away all the fat and flavor in order to lighten up my favorite southern staples, however (fortunately) my culinary horizons expand beyond my roots and I love finding new foods and new ways of cooking that are just as delicious and in many cases much healthier. ?I do receive an incredible amount of joy from feeding others....a trait I definately attribute to my southern roots.
