I had to give the recipe 5 stars because I love the combination of spices, but I don’t know that I would like mushrooms in this particular recipe. I would probably prefer to substitute for chicken. But I think that people that eat mushrooms in this way will find this a perfect recipe!
Cooking has become one of my hobbies in the past time so I’d like to try this recipe even if I’ll not find the same ingredients since I live in another country. I’ll try 🙂 – Paolo
