Ingredients: Any Fish, Any Mushroom
Description: "A simple dish made by cooking skewered fresh fish alongside fragrant mushrooms."
I managed to get a nice bunch of whole sardines so i can really sell that rustic fish-on-a-stick look! and some big chestnut mushrooms.
It turns out I have to gut them myself... ok... um ive never done this before, im sparing you the gruesome blood and guts but i think ive succeeded, and rinsed the cavity. All that effort for extra horrible bone texture and mostly skin type of fish.
But here's the fun part! Coming up with a nice seasoning that might go well with these. I've picked paprika, salt and oregano, and then a big squeeze of lemon juice, making sure not to miss the insides of the fish too.
And then something a bit weird! No it's not a demon boner, its a massive horseradish root I found at the local farm shop. It's fairly potent so im just going to grate a bit onto everything. If you don't know horseradish, it's hot in a mustard sort of way. European wasabi.
And then some olive oil to help it crisp up on the grill.
It's assembled and ready! The other 2 sardines will become the fish skewer recipe.

You might be starting to get the idea why im combining some of these recipes, well apart from it being very resource efficient. It's also because these are pretty plain ways to cook ingredients that nobody even really likes that much. I expected the worst with these nasty little whole fish and shrooms, but you know what, it could have been worse. The seasoning was zippy and worked well, the fish... well i hate that texture where even though you take out the main spine, theres tons of micro thin bones in there that are small enough to eat so its sort of like eating a shoe brush, but the flavour was alright and you get a satisfying amount of fish meat. It was probably very healthy.
