The ideal thing would be to serve some wild mushrooms, but chances are you can't get any.
Tricky one. There are countless mushroom soups which can make a good starter. Lots of mushroom pate type things you could serve with bruscetta or some other fancy bread like bilinis... and then you have all the various stuffed mushroom dishes. Failing that you could do a fresh mushroom salad, mushrooms a la Greque...garlic mushrooms. Ohh a perfect thing would be mushroom kievs, but they are quite tricky so I'd be worried I might mess up your meal.

I'm thinking of giving mushroom pate a go. I've got a few weeks ahead of me, so I think I will do a dry run. So wish me luck as I experiment on my family first !!!! |

A whole vegetarian is a bit much for a starter.

Mushrooms are a bit predictable, how about some gnocchi with roast butternut squash and cider glaze, or make something with beetroot or asparagus which is now in season!

diced Field mushrooms and finely chopped garlic fried in salted butter until soft and browned. Tkae off heat and stir in a tablespoon of double cream or creme fraiche and a heap of chopped parsley plus a squeeze of lemon. Serve on a wedge of sourdough or ciabatta toast

Barely a recipe, but cook some mushrooms and some onion (if you like it) and then melt in some boursin or garlic roule. Fill ramekins, top with cheese (I'd use parmesan myself, but for a vegetarian, you'd need to adapt - Sainsbury's do a basics 'italian hard cheese', which is basically a vegetarian parmesan), oven bake until the top is golden and serve with fresh bread or warm crudites.
Alternatively, top some toasted ciabatta with the creamy mushrooms and serve as a bruscetta. |
