Stuffed Mushrooms and Chicory Salad.

Hello everybody.

Long shopping day as usual and no time to cook something so thought I’ll fix anything quickly.

I have some ready from store stuffed mushroom also from Miles that I didn’t make yesterday, so they were a good rescue, not bad but as my boys said the ones we make at home are much tastier.

I also made a bowl of chicory salad (هندباء او علت) ,I posted this dish long time ago,this plant is a favorite dish to many,cooked or as salad though the ones freshly picked from Ghor or farms are much more aromatic and original than the bunches bought from stores,but these will do for now, it’s a simple salad done with chopped chicory, very well washed cause it’s usually fill with dirt,then you add green onions,lemon juice and salt.

Nice quick lunch, will make it up tomorrow for sure.
