Overcomplicated dishes, wacky flavour pairings, and yet my favourite food experiment thus far
It is the 6th of October, and I'm about to enter a VERY busy week. I've been pushing this post for the last 2 weeks, but I finally decided to stop with the excuses and just get to writing. I've always been an experimental foodie, and this one's no different. The idea came from a dish I saw online...mushrooms in the soil, and I decided I might as well try to make an interesting take on that! Also, my mum bought me a really cool book on food pairings, and I absolutely HAD to try out some of the ideas in there and see if they really worked (spoiler alert...they 100% did). What's in it? Mushrooms done 3 (maybe 4) ways (Portobello, cremini, button), braised greens, beetroots done differently, my take on a grilled carrot, all placed atop nutty breadcrumb soil. Here's the notes file I used for the dish, it's got all of the major ingredients I used in each one. The portobello was sliced into thin rectangular pieces. I coated it in cinnamon and gave it a light grill
