Ingredients

  • 200g wild mushrooms, torn or sliced

  • 1 small bunch of cavolo nero kale, stalks removed

  • small bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped

  • 1 shallot, sliced thinly

  • 1 clove garlic, sliced thinly

  • For the white bean purée:

  • 1 tin cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

  • juice of 1 lime

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 heaped tsp miso paste

Method

  1. Make the purée first by blitzing all the ingredients together in a food processor along with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth.
  2. Cook the mushrooms in a hot frying pan with a little olive oil, seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. After around 10 minutes the mushrooms should be crispy and browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and wipe down the frying pan.

  3. Over medium high heat in the same frying pan, cook the shallot and sliced garlic in a little olive oil for around 3 minutes. Add the kale along with a small pinch of sea salt and cook for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Divide the purée between two plates and arrange the mushroom and kale mixture on top. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
