It’s been a busy week at work. Today I decide to take a breather and left office before the stars starts to glitter. Not that I can admire them through the gaps between those skyscrapers.
Returning to my kitchen always makes me happy. With music and a sip of chardonnay, I made this Spanish tapas to go with homemade crusty bread (click here for recipe) which is now always available on the dining table.
Your favorite mushrooms
Chopped garlic
Chopped red chili
Hot paprika
Tobasco sauce
Olive oil
Freshly crushed black pepper
Sea salt
Fry mushrooms in olive oil over medium heat till they start to shrink. Put in garlic, paprika, pepper, salt and fry till fully cooked. Sprinkle a good amount of Tobasco sauce over and top it up with chili. Serve immediately.
The best part comes after you have finished the mushrooms and use crusty bread to wipe up all the garlicky chili oil.
You might want to get ready a large glass of lemonade.

Oh yum I can so imagine sitting down with this and a glass of wine (or five).
That’s what I did 🙂 Thank you very much for stopping by.
Looks delicious!!!
Thank you Rebecca! Glad you like it 🙂
hi Danny! your plate looks great, loving that you added Tobasco sauce to the mushrooms and yes there is nothing better than homemade bread, yours looks so good at the table! 🙂
Hi Ingrid! So happy to hear from you. I was deciding between those little dynamite bird chili or tobasco and picked the latter for its unique flavor. Glad it worked. I have been baking bread every weekend. its fun!
Oh my! This is absolutely delicious! I love your bread recipe too! Wonderful meal Danny!!
Thank you my friend. I am glad I took a break to recharge for a few hours..its all worth it.
oh Danny does this look good..and your bread looks amazing as always..i just bought some button mushrooms today that look a bit lacking in flavor, will have to give this recipe a try…i just love your photography for this post, the mushroom are just beautiful with the oil all around them… lovely post..sarah
Sarah! I am so happy to hear from you 🙂 Thank you for your very nice comment. Glad you like it. If you try, please let me know how it worked for you….I would love to try a mixture of different mushrooms with this recipe….danny
I’ll have to try this. Love the idea of hot sauce added to this.
Thank you very much for stopping by. The tobasco sauce really add a lot more flavor to the dish.
The kitchen and a glass of chardonnay always make me happy too — and help me to forget the worries of the day. Your spicy mushrooms look mighty tasty!
Thank you very much for stopping by with such a nice comment. The glass of chardonnay did ease my stress for the day. Glad you like it :-)…danny
Sounds like a great combination! Yummy! Glad you took a break and headed to your kitchen 🙂
Hi Lilly! So happy you stopped by. Yes I am glad I did…..it is such a good break even for just a few hours. :-)…danny
Yes, any break is a good break 🙂
I love mushrooms and these look fantastic! The spicy part is an added bonus. Thanks for sharing Danny. It’s really lovely.
Thank you very much Anne. I normally cook with balsamic vinegar. Just thought I should make a change and it turns out good. So happy 🙂
Oh my goodness Danny this looks incredibly delicious! Spicy garlic just has a delicious ring to it! Yummy! I don’t love the texture of mushrooms but I really love the depth of flavor they add and I know this has got to taste amazing. What a great recipe!
Brandi !!! I am so happy to hear from you. 🙂 Thank you for your very nice comment. It means so much to me coming from you. I used to not liking mushrooms but learnt to accept it lately. However, I still can’t eat certain varieties too.
I love baguette recipes and the mushrooms look delicious. I’ll have to try this!
Thank you Anto. I have started using a poolish to bake bread and it turns out great. I am sure you will bring this mushroom recipe to a greater level.
These mushrooms with the garlicky chili oil look delicious! Your bread also seems so crunchy on the outside, yet perfectly soft on the inside. I’m going to have to give your bread recipe a try!
Thank you very much Veronica. So happy you like it. I have also begin to use a poolish (over night starter) for my bread. It adds that unique bread flavor which is absent from direct dough. Also discovered a 70% hydration dough works best for me. If you try, please let me know how it goes. I am still exploring it myself. 🙂
Bread making is a whole new category of learning itself- a combination of art and science. I have much to learn; and it is definitely on my recipes to explore list!
I love the process. It’s really fun! Looking forward to exchange recipes with you.
Looks absolutely delectable!
Thank you for stopping by. I’m glad you like it.
Is kitchen your paradise? Sound like you might need a massage as well.
You have perfected the bread. It looks like from a famous bakery.
Irene! So happy to hear from you. How have you been?
Yeah, I do need a massage as well, another busy week ahead….
Thank you for your very kind comment. I’m truly flattered. I’ve been trying all kinds of recipes. Bread baking is really fun! I love playing with the dough like a kid. 🙂
I try not to eat too much bread – but the thought of that rich juice would weaken my resolve, I know it!
Thank you Gabriela. You have to try mine. Don’t care. 🙂
Danny, this looks fantastic!! I love everything about this recipe! 🙂
Kenley
Thank you Kenley. So glad you like it. I will probably make this quite often too 🙂

These spicy garlic mushrooms look fantastic. What a nice pairing with the crusty bread. I love those rustic bread and I’ll off to check that recipe out. It’s the best to make my own homemade bread! 😉 Have a great weekend.
Thank you very much Amy. So happy you like it. I’m glad I took a break to make this. Been a tiring week at work and another to go…..I love baking bread. It’s really fun. I have also started to use a poolish which worked really well. Please share your bread recipes. I’ll love to learn more. 🙂
I love mushrooms and these look so tasty!!!
Thank you very much. The hotter the better 🙂
Not only do I love eating mushrooms, but I am a chili freak. I love anything hot and spicy on my food. I once cooked chili con carne for friends, and they said it was chili con chili. Failed. Liking your food presentations. Am sure it tastes heavenly. 🙂
Thank you my friend. Looks like I will have to add on extra chili for you 🙂
this is a mushroom lovers dream! and the bread, it looks straight out of a french bakery!
Thank you very much! I am flattered. Would have to admit I am pretty obsessed with bread baking. Playing with the dough like a kid to see nature creating magic to those basic ingredients. It’s amazing.
Your garlic mushrooms with the hot chilies would delicious on their own but with the homemade bread…that could be a meal for me.
Hi Karen, thank you for stopping by with your very nice comment. I really appreciate it. That was lunch for me too 🙂
A wonderful & tasty mushrooms recipe, I agree here!
And to savour this with your home-made bread is even better! Yummm!
Thank you very much Sophie! And don’t forget that lemonade to soothes the burning tongue after that. 🙂
Oh, yum! Perfect end to a busy day at work! Then you just have to remember to sit down for a bit and relax 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Glad I’ve almost come to an end of two busy work weeks.
That’s a lovely recipe and a terrific photographic presentation too!!
Thank you very much for stopping by with your very nice comment. I really appreciate it.
