I’m a big fan of the meme “squatting slavs in tracksuits”. I also like my mushrooms and boozy food. So when I adapted James Martin’s recipe, I was sure it’d be a hit. I was right! It’s not healthy but it is very tasty. Serve with rice, or my favourite, garlic bread. Or potatoes if you want to be super slav.
