Now don't take the ****
I'm doing roast chicken for the young lady. One of the other things that will be on the plate are button mushrooms. How do i cook them?




















Yep - you're correct, i still live with Mummy and Daddy

Brun

And how long do i cook roast spuds? The don't come with instructions - unless the instructions will appear when i wash the soil off

Edcase

put some butter in a saucepan, melt the butter til its sizzling then add the mushrooms. Can also add seasoning and finely chopped garlic.

Never had button mushrooms with a roast before tho

Brun

I love em
I thankyou

Edcase

LOL.

I like the Jamie Oliver way. Just roughly cut your root veg up, stuff butter, lemon rind, garlic and fine chopped streaky bacon in between the chicken skin and the breast, stick half a lemon in the cavity, then just bung it all in the oven. The butter melts through the chicken and then soaks into the veg.

Brun

That sounds a little too technical for me
The roasties are in - puddin is sorted - the wine is chilled - veg is prepped

I'm off for a beer

Brun

How long do the mushrooms take in the pan?
Cooking muppet alert

Just a couple of minutes. Not raw, not soggy.... try one and see if it's done

Franx

Boil 'em first (assuming they're just normal spuds to begin with), 'til they're not quite done then drain them, then put about half an inch of fat into the bottom of the roasting tin, roll the spuds around so they're covered, then put 'em in the oven for I think about an hour or so. Always seems to be longer than you'd think....

You should definately boil potatoes first; you might need to add some lard too if youre cooking them around the chicken, and raise the chicken slightly too.....

gso

if the roasties dont work.... go down to morrisons and pick up some Aunt Bessies Roast Potatoes... she'll never know

Brun

**** - didn't boil the spuds
I'll let you know how it went

For future Ref:

Use either Maris Piper or King Edward spuds for roasties. Boil for 4 mins then shake around in pan before putting into either the fat from the roast or coat in a little groundnut oil and sea salt then put in hot oven (200c) for about 45-50 Mins.

Hope your chicken was OK
