Directions
-
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, and cook slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelised.
-
Step 2
Add the thyme, bay leaf, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until the liquid has reduced significantly, leaving about one-quarter of the original volume. Pour in the mushroom stock and simmer until reduced by half.
-
Step 3
Stir in the Vegemite and plum jam, then add the flour slurry, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens to a rich consistency. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaf.
-
Step 4
Slice the lion’s mane mushroom into thick “steaks” and season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 5
Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crisp around the edges.
-
Step 6
Plate up the mushroom steaks with the onion gravy and serve with mashed potatoes and peas on the side.
