I’ve mentioned before that like most couples, when one of us eats out the one who’s still at home tends to eat what the other is indifferent to (or dislikes). When D is left to his own devices he likes hotdogs, I usually have prawns or mushrooms. So last Friday night I decided to have a vegetarian meal for once.

To make your mushrooms and their stuffing you will need

2 portobello mushrooms

30g blue cheese (I used Harrogate blue)

10g butter (softened)

1 clove garlic

Salt and pepper

20g chopped hazelnuts

(This one goes out to all you mushroom lovers out there!)

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Remove the stalks from your mushrooms and wash them. Mash together the cheese, butter, garlic and hazelnuts. Top the mushrooms with this and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. I had mine with toast, but this would go well with most things.

Sometimes we all need to eat something delicious when we have a solitary meal.
