Let’s make a delicious Mushroom Duplex recipe that’s sure to impress your family and friends!
Ingredients Needed For Mushroom Duplex
This recipe relies on a handful of simple yet flavour-packed ingredients that come together to create a comforting dish. Each one has its role in balancing taste, texture, and aroma:
-
Fresh Mushrooms (400 g, sliced): The star of the dish. Mushrooms bring earthy flavour and a meaty texture that makes this recipe hearty without being heavy.
-
Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Provides a subtle pungency and depth that complements the mushrooms beautifully.
-
Onion (1 small, finely chopped): Adds sweetness and body to the base while enhancing the overall flavour balance.
-
Olive Oil (2 tbsp): Used for sautéing, it lends richness and a smooth mouthfeel while keeping the recipe light.
-
Grated Cheese (100 g, optional): For those who enjoy indulgence, cheese forms a golden, bubbling layer on top, adding creaminess and a hint of sharpness.
-
Salt and Pepper (to taste): Basic yet essential seasonings to elevate the natural flavours of the mushrooms.
-
Vegetable Broth (50 ml): Keeps the dish moist during baking and introduces subtle savoury undertones.
Step-by-Step Guide To Make Mushroom Duplex
Step 1: Prepare the aromatics
On a clean cutting board, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. This ensures they cook evenly and infuse the dish with flavour from the very beginning.
Step 2: Sauté the base
Heat a skillet over medium flame and drizzle in the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and garlic. Stir frequently and cook until the onions turn translucent and aromatic, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Let them cook until they release their natural moisture and begin to brown slightly around the edges. This process should take 8–10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper while they cook.
Step 4: Assemble for baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the mushroom mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly to form a solid base. If using, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top. Pour the vegetable broth gently around the edges to add moisture and create light steam during baking.
Step 5: Bake to finish
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling. The mushrooms should be fully tender, and if cheese is used, it will have melted into a deliciously crisp topping.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest briefly before serving. The Mushroom Duplex works well as a standalone dish or as a side with toasted bread, rice, or pasta.
