If you are a fan of Thomasina Miers and mushrooms, you must try her delicious beauty-boosting 'Spring Tacos with Mushrooms' recipe before the St. George's mushroom season ends, any day soon. Not many people know that the humble but glorious mushroom is one of the best sources of the beauty nutritients Selenium, B Vits Niacin and riboflavin, as well as a great source Zinc and Vit D.
Hang on, mushrooms in Spring? It’s not a month that most of us connect to mushrooms, but with St George’s day just behind us, my thoughts turn inevitably to these delcious, creamy wild mushrooms. They are easy to spot, often sprouting out of the ground in rings, and can be found in all sorts of habitats from woodland to pasture. We have even found them in Hyde Park.
To celebrate the launch of Thomasina Miers new book, Mexican Food Made Simple (Hodder & Stoughton, £20) and the St George’s mushroom season (May), we’ve taken a break from the beauty boosting recipes Thomasina writes especially for OSKIA and picked this delicious, super skin friendly recipe ‘Spring Tacos with Mushrooms’, from the unending list mouth-watering recipes from her book.
"The Mexicans love wild mushrooms. In the spring, morels and St. George’s mushrooms come out in Britain among other varieties. If you can get wild mushrooms, add some sliced to normal field mushrooms or include a little dried porcini for a real treat. This filling is also really delicious in quesadillas." Thomasina Miers
