Anyone made Ottolenghi Portobello Steaks and Butter Bean Mash?

[revampneeded]

Has anyone made this? I have a Big Vegan Dinner coming up and looking for something with the wow factor...

Hi @revampneeded - we're just moving your thread over to our Food/Recipes topic.

I haven't made that but I did make Ottolenghi's mushroom pilaf from their new shelf love cookbook. Can highly recommend! We hD it with sautéed greens and raita (make with coconut yoghurt to keep it vegan).

Yes! Both me and DH loved the mushrooms (neither of us vegan). I liked the butter beans, DH bit more meh on those but served them with potatoes and lentils as well in past. Also served a yogurt sauce with it, obviously you'd need to do vegan alternative if you wanted to do this (it helps temper the spice as it can get fierce depending on chilles used)

Thanks both! @Littlebelina I thought about polenta instead of butter beans. Question: do you reckon I could get away with assembling the mushrooms just before the guests arrive? Or would they go rubbery or something?

@revampneeded what about celeriac mash? I just add salt, pepper and nutmeg, makes a really smooth creamy mash.

@KateLumley great idea. I recently tried celeriac for the first time and really liked it.

I'm vegetarian, haven't tried this but would be over the moon to be served it and think ill probably cook it at some point now i know about it!

I made it, it was amazing!! Needs something green on the side. I also recommend the confit parsnips although probably not at the same meal! www.theguardian.com/food/2020/jan/18/yotam-ottolenghi-slow-cooking-recipes-mushrooms-parsnips-and-brussels-sprouts

I've made it and loved it! Would be very happy if someone served it for me at dinner.

i can't remember what we had alongside but I would guess something like purple sprouting broccoli, possibly with some flaked almonds and a hint of chilli flake?
