- ; chopped

Directions
Clean the fungi with a pastry brush (rinse if necessary), and allow to
drain. Chop all the fungi except 110g of the wild selection, reserving
these for garnish. Sweat the garnish mushrooms in a little olive oil until
tender and allow to cool.
Sweat the onion in the olive oil and butter in a large pan for 6 minutes on
a low to medium heat, stirring to prevent catching and sticking. You should
achieve a light golden transparent colour. Add the mushrooms and garlic,
and saut”š on a high heat. The mushroom juices will prevent the onions from
over-colouring.
Add the chicken stock when the juices start to dry up and cook for 10
minutes on a slow simmer. Then add the milk, bring back to the boil and
simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and
nutmeg and allow to cool for a while.
Put the mixture through a processor until it has a smooth to medium texture
~ not too smooth though. Serve in warm bowls with a swirl of fresh single
cream, garnished with the fried wild mushrooms and a sprinkling of chopped
parsley.
