INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups button (white) mushrooms
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 2 green chillies, seeded and chopped
• 1 cup fromage frais (or low-fat cream cheese)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
• 1 tsp salt
• fresh mint and coriander, to garnish

DIRECTIONS

• Unless they are very small, cut the mushrooms in half. Set them aside while you cook the garlic and chillies.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick wok or balti pan, then add the bay leaf, garlic and chillies and cook for about 1 minute.
• Add the mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or longer if you like them well cooked and browned.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the fromage frais followed by the mint, coriander and salt. Heat, stirring for 2 minutes, then transfer to a warmed serving dish, garnish with the mint and coriander leaves and serve at once.
