EZCR#52 - ERYNGII MUSHROOMS WITH GINGER AND BASIL

Recently, bought several packets of fresh Eryngii mushrooms at very low price from Tesco and used it to cook this dish. 

It turned out to be a nice vegetarian dish.  
This dish tastes sourish and savoury which blends well with the natural sweetness of the Eryngii mushrooms. The strong, pungent, sweet and menthol aroma comes from the Basil leaves that makes this dish refreshingly good.

Initially, didn't intend to post this recipe but since it is good, I have to record it here for future reference.  I wouldn't mind having just this dish with plain rice.
