    baked mushrooms! My favourite way to eat mushrooms!

    Throw your mushies in a backing dish, cover with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    throw in some garlic cloves, basil and rosemary.

    Cover with a lid or tinfoil and bake for about 20/30 mins...

    They come out all sticky and yummy...hmmmm... Can be a bit better in warmer season with Roasts though...
