Mushroom and prawn salad

Well this is turning into a real Mushroom Month.

We went for a lovely dinner with our friends Alan Cook (ex-manager of the famous GothRock band “Sauerkraut” as featured elsewhere on this website, click here for more details if you are really interested) and Elisabeth Guinness.

Elisabeth runs the Guinness Gallery in Dublin and she is an excellent cook.

The spicy pork stew was fantastic but it was the starter of raw mushrooms and prawns which inspired me for this recipe. I have only slightly modified Elisabeth’s original recipe by adding some spinach leaves and a slightly sweeter dressing to counteract their bitterness.

– thinly slice some mushrooms
– place on a bed of baby spinach leaves
– add some peeled prawns
– make a dressing with honey, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, salt and mild red paprika powder
– drizzle dressing on the salad
