- 75g/2½oz butter

Directions
- I like to cook my sourdough on a griddle for that ‘burnt’ bar marked flavour
- but you can just grill it if you don’t have a griddle.
- In a large frying pan
- heat the butter and a little rapeseed oil. Add the shallot and grated garlic and gently fry until soft. Add the mushrooms.
- Fry over a high heat until just cooked. Add the double cream and a splash of truffle oil and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced and the mushrooms are glazed and creamy.
- Stir in the chives
- parsley and wild garlic. Season
- to taste
- with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice
- to taste.
- Serve the mushrooms on the toast with the grated parmesan on top.
