Roasted Garlic Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 16 even-sized open cup mushrooms, stalks cut level
• 3 tbsp corn or vegetable oil
• ¼ c unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped very finely
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1½ tbsp lemon juice
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ c fresh breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Lightly fry the mushrooms, cap-side down, in hot oil for 20 seconds.
2. Arrange the mushrooms in a shallow roasting tin with the stalks facing upwards.
3. Mix together the butter, garlic, thyme, lemon juice and seasoning. Spoon a little garlic butter on to each mushroom, then lightly press the breadcrumbs on top. Either refrigerate for later use, or cook immediately in the oven for 10 minutes.
