🥘 Ingredients
1 pint of mushroom-buttons, 1 pint of brown gravy No. 436, 1/4 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, cayenne and salt to taste.
👨🍳 Method
Make a pint of brown gravy by recipe 436; cut nearly all the stalks away from the mushrooms and peel the tops; put them into a stewpan, with the gravy, and simmer them gently from 20 minutes to 1/2 hour. Add the nutmeg and a seasoning of cayenne and salt, and serve very hot.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried this Stewed Mushrooms In Gravy recipe on a whim, expecting a bland side dish from the Victorian era. Instead, I found a weeknight lifesaver that's ready in under 30 minutes. The key was using a quick, homemade gravy instead of store-bought. I was surprised by how much depth the nutmeg added; it was subtle but transformed the dish from simple to sophisticated. This recipe is perfect for the weeknight cook who wants something warm and comforting without spending hours in the kitchen. I served it over some quick-cooking pasta for a speedy, satisfying dinner. The cayenne gave it a nice kick, but I think I'll add a bit more next time for some extra warmth. It's a keeper, and I'll be making it again soon—probably tomorrow.
