I have made this mushroom hash 2 days in a row this week, it is that good. The first day I served it with roasted potato wedges and we couldn’t get enough of it. The next day, I served it with cubes of boiled yam.
Hash is not a fussy kind of food, it is very forgiving so you can’t go wrong with it. Does it really need a proper recipe? Not really. This is just a guideline and you can use whatever you already have in your kitchen. It is perfect for those lazy days when you don’t want to spend hours cooking.
Mushroom being the new superfood and deservedly so, it is excellent for weight watchers. To learn more about Mushrooms as a superfood, click on this link: https://www.thepretendchef.com/mushroom-health-benefits-facts/.
You can serve mushroom hash for breakfast, lunch or dinner with whatever side you wish, yam, toast, plantain, potato, rice, beans etc. The butter can be replaced with olive oil or whatever oil you wish to use.
I used a mix of button and portobello mushrooms, use whatever you have. An exciting twist to this recipe is, you can fry some cubes of potatoes and add them to the hash then cook so that the potato will absorb the flavours of the hash. I prefer my potato as a side.
To make Mushroom Hash
2 cups sliced mush rooms (300g) 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1/2 cup chopped, de-seeded tomato (1 very large/3 small) 2 scotch bonnet, chopped 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped (optional) salt 2 seasoning cubes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoons dry thyme 2 teaspoons butter
Rinse mushrooms in water, using a sieve, and drain unto a paper towel.
Slice Mushrooms.
Pour oil into a saucepan and place over high heat.
When the oil is very hot, add mushroom, onions and salt, it should sizzle.
Fry until they are browned about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, ginger, thyme and seasoning cubes.
Fry until it smells aromatic.
Add tomato, scotch bonnet and green bell pepper.
Cover and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes.
Add the knob of butter and stir. Take off the heat.
Serve with fried, grilled or boiled potato cubes, yam, plantains, rice sweet potatoes, toast, fried egg etc.
Notes
- Do not soak your mushrooms or let them sit in water when you rinse them or else they will soak up the water.
- Wash mushrooms just before using.
- Mushrooms are sometimes grown in manure so I prefer to rinse them in water rather than wiping with a damp cloth.
