Mushroom Samp
Serves 4
Ingredients
250ml samp, soaked overnight
180g butter or margarine
500g Portabellini mushrooms, halved
1 large onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Method
1 Cook the samp as instructed on the packet and set aside.
2 Melt 80g of the butter in a saucepan and fry mushrooms gently until most of the juices have released – mushrooms should not be dry.
3 Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside. Fry onion in the same saucepan on medium heat until soft and a nice light brown colour.
4 Add remaining butter to the pan, combine the onion and mushrooms with the samp and cook on a high heat, turning often, so that the samp toasts all over. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately
TIP
Ensure that the samp is well cooked, almost to the point of being overcooked, before you add it to the dish. This is made much easier if the samp is well soaked for at least 24 hours beforehand. You may cook the samp in a pressure cooker.
