This is one of our home favourites - even amongst every one of my family members - none of whom seem to have any food intolerances or allergies. Full of flavour, this easy to prepare Vegetarian gluten free dish can be served on its own, with noodles or rice, in lasagna dishes, as pie, or as a delicious sauce or condiment for chicken, lamb or steak . It's delicious every way!

Saucy Mushrooms (serves 2 hungry mushroom-loving people)

Ingredients
300g fresh mushrooms
20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (about what you get from one small lemon)
3/4 cup Australia's Own Malt Free Soy Milk
2 Tbspns Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Tspn Sesame Oil
Freshly ground pepper and salt
1-2 tspns Massel Vegetable Stock Powder
150 g Rice Stick (L or XL size)
Finely chopped fresh continental parsely for tossing through cooked noodles.

To Cook

1. Slice or Quarter mushrooms
2. Place pan on hot plate or gas element (high setting)
3. Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil to frying pan along with pepper to taste
4. Add mushrooms to pan once oil is hot
5. Once mushrooms appear approximately half cooked, lower temperature of the stove to a vigorous simmer and add freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. Add Massels Vegetable Stock (Gluten Free) and mix mushrooms, lemon juice and stock together until juices have reduced and thickened.
7. Add Sesame Oil and mix
8. Lower temperature to low simmer
9. Add Australia's Own Malt Free Soy Milk and mix throughout the mushrooms. The sauce should thicken slightly and be a golden brown mushroom colour.
10. Allow mushrooms to simmer very gently while you add the Rice Stick Noodles to a pot of salted boiling water for cooking (around 3-5 mins MAX)
11. Drain noodles, toss a small amount of oil (your choice) through noodles along with finely chopped parsely. (if you don't like parsley the dish is still delicious without its addition)
12. Check that mushroom sauce has thickened to desired consistency. If not, mix 1/2 tspn corn flour (Gluten Free of course!) or besan flour to a small amount of water before adding it to the mushrooms to help thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
13. Serve noodles into two bowls
14. Spoon Saucy Mushrooms over the noodles.
15. ENJOY!
