Author Notes
This recipe was one I developed for the Australian Mushroom Growers Association and was inspired by one of Yottam Ottolenghi's in his gorgeous book, "Plenty". I've changed some of the ingredients, added a few new touches and tweaked things here and there. It is fresh, highly nutritious and perfect for the Australian Christmas table, with its' green,red & white colours. —Lambs' Ears and Honey
