Good Old Favourites #9

Now what else can I come up with that is healthy (low salt. low sugar, low carbs and high on the vegetable content), that is easy to cook (because I can't) and that my family love, so much that they actually do ask me to cook it again?

Not much, I'm afraid. This series may end soon. Blame it on the high standards of two teens, or the unimaginative kitchen that is mine at the moment.

Even so, this recipe is not scraping the proverbial barrel. Perish the thought. It is great. Haul it out when you feel like vegetarian comfort food. Hope you enjoy.

Mushroom and spinach stroganoff

Olive Oil

3 tablespoons brandy

Chopped Parsley

The way:

Fry the onions and garlic in olive oil for 10 minutes, until golden. Add the mushrooms, paprika and black pepper and fry for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the brandy and bubble for a minute. Stir in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
