Mushroom Toasts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

500 g mixed mushrooms, larger and older, mixed ok
100 g butter
100 ml cream
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 loaf of dense Italian bread or 1 loaf sourdough bread

Preparation

Wipe clean, and thinly slice the mushrooms.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook until very well reduced and softened.
We did this in 2 batches.
Add the cream and bring to the boil, allow to reduce and thicken a little.
Add the lemon juice, season very well with salt and pepper, and stir through the parsley.
Meanwhile, slice the loaf into 10 slices.
Butter with the extra softened butter (one side only) and place under the grill (broiler).
Grill until golden on one side only and remove to a warmed serving dish.
Pile the mushrooms onto the toasts and serve.
