It's Foodie Friday! I have a real passion for food, and having owned quite a few restaurants over the years I've picked up some great cooking tips.

Over the next few weeks we'll be giving you some quick and easy ways to make the food you cook every day at home even tastier.

Have a go and let me know how you get on @nicksnaith or @magicfm on Twitter!

Ingredients

• 150g button mushrooms, cut in half then sliced
• 150ml thickened cream
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp (or more to taste) freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp ground sea salt
• 1 tsp cooking oil

Method

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over high heat
• Add sliced mushrooms and stir-fry until they are lightly browned
• Reduce heat to medium
• Add cream, salt and pepper and bring to a boil
• Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally and watching that the cream doesn't overboil
• Once the sauce has reduced by half, add crushed garlic and cook for another minute

To serve:

Remove from heat and serve over your favourite meat

To reheat:

Simply place saucepan back on low heat and let the sauce 'melt' and heat through.

Enjoy!

Nick's note: I used regular button mushrooms for this recipe, but for an even richer flavour, feel free to use Swiss Browns. Thickened cream is best, but pure fresh cream can also be used, but it may require slightly longer cooking.
