Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
- 300 g mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 60 ml (¼ cup) dry sherry
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup Japanese or whole-egg mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
- pappadums and crispy fried shallots, to serve
Chilling time overnight
Instructions
Melt ghee in a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add mushroom, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes until mushroom is tender. Add garlic, sherry, lemon zest and juice, and cook until most of liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
When cool, finely dice mushroom mixture. Transfer to a bowl with mayonnaise and chives, season to taste and add more lemon juice, if needed. Mix well.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to develop.
Serve with crisp pappadums and top with fried shallots or other garnishes, as desired.
