That’s a really pretty arrangement.

Of course, because the mushrooms know who bought them and they wanna show their best side for the camera

Are you after that garlicky thing stew that MG mentioned? I'll be making that this Sunday, tentatively probably.

Yep, that's the one

I do hope I like it as those dried fava beans are just the same price as standard white or brown beans here

Dark chocolate & dried fava beans as mentioned above
Plus dates.
And also red wine & gin

They're way more expensive here but I get it. Morelo's Market is the only place in town with them and they only had 4 bags on the shelf so that's that; now they've three...

I think they are tricky to cook. The delicate ones I mean. They can flop like a sad wet rag if you cook them in oil a tad too long.

Mushrooms fare well air-fried I've found. I've had success even without adding any oil - I just get them going a bit at 180c until they start to sweat then toss them in a bowl with some S&P then continue till done.

I don't have an air fryer but something similar (halogen cooker) and will try that. My method at the moment is a tiny bit of oil in a wok or frying pan and clamp a lid on. Cook for 5 mins or even less.
