I never used to make mushrooms a la grecque with tomatoes either but with oil and white wine. It did have the crushed coriander though which is crucial.<br /><br />I think I'll definitely be trying another Floyd recipe soon. They're quite simple and unusual.Fiona Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970779962455905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-17505178474043856872009-10-19T20:50:26.188+01:002009-10-19T20:50:26.188+01:00What a delicious bargin!

I have only ever owned Floyd on France and Floyd in the Soup and I can't say I've ever conciously followed one of his recipes, but I know that at some point I've cooked something based on something I've seen him do.<br /><br />I must make mushrooms a la grecque again soon, they are very nice to have in the fridge to pick at. I can't remember where I originally got my inspiration for them from - possibly Elizabeth David ? but I do mine without the tomatoes and with white wine ( good for using up the odd half a glassful ) and coriander seeds and fresh coriander/parsley.
