Notes
- To give this dish plenty of texture, use as many different mushrooms as you can find. We used chestnut, button, shittake and oyster.
- Chop all the mushrooms different ways to add more texture. We chopped, shredded and left the little ones whole.
- You could add some extra protein to this dish by adding some lentils when you put the tomatoes in.
- For some added flavour, add a splash of red wine to make it more like a traditional ragu.
