How to:

Use dried mushrooms

Dried mushrooms are a great substitute for the fresh variety, especially as they have a long shelf life (up to a year) and so can be readily available when mushrooms are not in season.

They should, however, be used in smaller quantities than their fresh counterparts as they are much stronger in flavour.

Simply rehydrate in warm water or milk and add, chopped, to broths, stuffings or risottos, or mix into butter to melt over pan-fried steak.

Alternatively, grind into a fine dust and sprinkle over home-made bread or add to olive oil for a distinct meaty flavour.

1 red pepper, halved and seeded
1 yellow pepper, halved and seeded
½ cup olive oil

Rub the brinjal slices with olive oil and place on the grid for 30 seconds a side, or until charred.

Place the Portuguese rolls, cut-side down, on the grid and toast. Just before serving, place the Brie slices into the hot oven for 30 seconds, or until melted.

Stack all of the vegetables onto the roll bases and top with a dollop of hummus and the melted cheese. Serve hot.
