I love the heaps of different types of mushrooms on the Aix markets; here’s a very easy recipe to make the most of them. Traybakes are a super-easy way to cook a family meal or casual lunch for friends (when we can do that again….) I like the fact that it can all be prepared in advance and popped into the oven where the various ingredients mingle together into a delicious tasty dish.
This is a Jamie Oliver recipe which is for 4. More like 6 I would have thought esp at lunchtime. I didn’t have any cannellini beans in the kitchen so used mixed beans in tomato sauce which turned out well. The great thing about traybakes is that you can incorporate varied ingredients………..warms the kitchen too.
-
800g potatoes
-
4 garlic cloves
-
2 red onions
-
½ a bunch of fresh rosemary (15g)
-
1 fresh red chilli (optional)
-
olive oil
-
500g mixed mushrooms
-
2 x 400g tins cannellini beans
-
red wine vinegar
-
4 heaped tbsp soured cream
-
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200 ̊C, fan 180¡C. Scrub the potatoes, peel the garlic and onions, then slice everything 0.5cm thick, chucking it in a large, shallow roasting tray (30 x 40cm) as you go. Strip in most of the rosemary leaves, then finely slice and add most of the chilli, if using. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and 1 tbsp oil, toss well, arrange in a fairly even layer and roast for 40 mins. Halfway through cooking, roughly tear and toss in the mushrooms, leaving any smaller ones whole.
-
Pull the tray out of the oven, drain the beans and stir them in, along with 1 tbsp vinegar. Sprinkle over the remaining rosemary leaves and chilli, then return to the oven for a further 20 mins, or until everything is golden and delicious.

Divide the traybake between plates, with a dollop of soured cream on top. Lovely served with some steamed greens or dressed baby spinach.
Great recipe. In theUS this is called a sheet-pan recipe. Thanks for your note. We are getting along, like everyone else . This too shall pass. We moved in July and this house is lovely , larger than we need but nice place to be if you have to be confined. Glad Biden won, Just hoping the transition will be less problematical than it now seems to be. How can so many Americans have voted vote the horrible man, I and other keep wondering. Looking forward to “poking around” Marseille with you some day soon, xxxxKaren
