Recipe: Chilli & Garlic Mushrooms - 41 calories per portion

Mushrooms are just super for fast days. They bulk out a dish nicely for very few calories and can be cooked using a bit of water rather than having to use oil.

Tonight I made Chilli & Garlic Mushrooms as a side dish for my Scrummy Stuffed Peppers, and very nice they were too for under 50 calories!

Chilli & Garlic Mushrooms (makes one generous portion)

Ingredients:

125g closed cup mushrooms

1 tsp frozen chopped garlic

5g light spread (I used Utterley Butterly Light)

Salt Chilli & Garlic grinder

Method:

Clean and quarter the mushrooms, and place in a saucepan with the garlic and 2-3 tablespoons of water over a low heat, allow to steam for about 10 mins, taking care not to let the pan boil dry, add a bit more water if you need to

Once the mushrooms are cooked as much as you like them to be, drain off any excess liquid and add in the spread and season to taste using the Salt Chilli & Garlic grinder, and pepper if you like. Warm through until the spread has melted then you're ready to serve
