So the first thing we do in the pan, we fry the mushrooms one to release the water content. And by releasing the water content, what we do is we intensify the flavor of the mushroom. Little bit of seasoning. Always season hard. Season everything to the max. If you don’t season to the max, then you’ve underseded. Taste. Taste. Taste. Season. Season. Season. When you season dishes, season each and individual component. That’s the only way you’ll ever discover perfection. Okay? Wonderful as a garnish, but also wonderful as a main course or as a starter. Stuffed mushrooms are just delicious. When we’ve done this, then we’ll make the dousel, which is a recipe for beef Wellington or as the French would say, alas. It is the most sensational dousel you’ve ever tasted. They’re hot. And again, season this side. Add a little bit of minionette pepper. Seasoning makes everything taste that little bit better. Allow the pallet to dictate. The recipe is a guideline. So, it’s that little bit of resistance, which means they’re not quite cooked. Once they’re cooked, we’ll rest them. And what you will see they’ll release water like resting a steak.

  1. If not cooked with Worcestershire sauce I don’t want to know. First cooked them like that over 40 years ago. Never been without since

  2. i love that, "season every individual component". you season your base but then you add a gallon of milk or cream or water – you gotta season that too!

  3. Touches the sizzling mushroom ah, they're hot. it was their choice. taste, taste, taste or as the french say "season everything to the max, or you've under seasoned" marvelous.

  4. Loved hearing this as it’s what I’ve been doing for many years and well I’ve been able to turn out some winning dishes on repeat basically.
