Thank goodness for Fridays. Just when you think the week is going to last forever, Friday comes along and everything seems much better than it did before. This Friday we had B's mother staying, but she was arriving on a late train, so we had to whip something nice but quick for dinner. We had mushrooms (plus a little oozy interloper) in the fridge.
Step forward Nigella's delicious recipe for Mushroom Stroganoff. This is such a good dish - it's a quick, throw-it-all-in-the-pan meal, but one that still manages to look and taste like a lot more effort has gone into it. It makes an inspired dinner party choice as well.
Nigella recommends rice to have alongside, but we usually make Ebly, or pasta, on the grounds that we are lazy, and cooking rice for some reason seems more effortful than cooking pasta.
We had a (shop bought) chocolate tart for pudding. Look how nicely The Cat is sitting at the table with his serving. His manners are impeccable you know.
