Instructions

1

Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the potatoes.Boil your kettle. Put the porcini mushrooms in a bowl and pour on the boiling water (amount specified in the ingredient list). Set aside to soak. Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small ½cm pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Chop the tomato into ½cm chunks. Cut each chestnut mushroom into four slices. Peel and chop both the parsnips and potato into 2cm chunks.

2

Add the parsnip and potato to your pan of boiling water. Cook until soft, 15-20 mins. Tip: They are cooked when you can easily slip a knife through. Once cooked, drain and pop them back in the pan with a lid on.

3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the shallot. Cook until soft, 4 mins. Then add the chestnut mushrooms. Cook together until the mushrooms are browned, 6-7 mins. Add half the chopped tomato. Cook for a further 2 mins.

4

Remove the porcini mushrooms from their water (keep the liquid for later). Add the porcini mushrooms to your pan and cook for 2 mins. Add the garlic, allspice and tomato purée. Cook for 1 minute more, then pour in the red wine vinegar. Cook 'til it has evaporated then add the mushroom soaking water, vegetable stock pot and honey. Tip: Don't pour in the gritty bit at the bottom of the soaking water. Add the bay leaf, stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 mins, then remove the bay leaf

5

When the potato and parsnip is cooked and drained, add a splash of milk (if you have some) and the butter along with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Mash until smooth, then pop a lid on and leave to one side.

6

Your last job is to make the salsa! Finely chop the parsley and roughly chop the olives. Pop them in a bowl with the remaining tomato chunks and pour in the olive oil (amount is specified in the ingredient list). Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper and mix to combine. Serve your mash in wide bowls with the mushroom stifado on top and finish with some delicious salsa. Enjoy!
