Mushrooms a la grecque
My mother often made this recipe when we had guests for lunch or dinner when I was small. It's easy, tasty and while I'm not sure why the name is Greek mushrooms in French, it certainly has deep Mediterranean flavours. I like to serve it warm with home-made bread, but it keeps well in the fridge and is great cold too so it's worth making extra. Also works as a vegetarian pasta sauce.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Put the olive oil, butter and oregano in a pan and heat gently
* Step 2
Crush the garlic cloves and add to the pan. Stir until the garlic is golden (take care not to burn)
* Step 3
Add the tomato sauce and the juice of one lemon. (If you can't get hold of crushed tomato sauce then either make your own by slowly cooking peeled tomatoes in a little olive oil with sugar and store in the fridge for recipes like this, or substitute with tomato puré and add extra sugar)
* Step 4
When the sauce is bubbling add the washed mushrooms. You can slice or break them, or just add them whole, however you prefer
* Step 7
Cover and leave cooking over a low heat for 15 minutes
* Step 8
Take the lid off and if the sauce is too liquidy (the mushrooms release water while cooking), turn the heat up and stir while it thickens
