  4. Remove from the oven and turnover, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until soft and browned.
  • For the mushroom sauce
  1. Place the shiitake and button mushrooms into a bowl, then drizzle with just enough olive oil to coat, add a pinch of salt.
  2. Transfer to a medium sized frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant.
