Goes well with asparagus - or broccolini - or green beans, steamed/poached and lightly salted **Black sesame sauce:** Rich-flavoured mushrooms e.g. 2-3 portobello mushrooms 4 tbsp black sesame seeds 1 tbsp mirin 1 tsp soy sauce 1-2 tsp miso 1 tbsp brown sugar - or chopped cranberries - or goji berries 1 tbsp water if needed for consistency Chop the mushrooms finely and cook down with some oil in a pan until very soft. Grind the sesame seeds as best you can in the pestle and mortar. *It won't exactly produce a paste, more a sort of dusty sludge, but have a go.* Add the remaining things to the pestle and mortar, mixing in as you go. *This will get messy. You'll be scraping black sludge off everything.* Stir the ~~paste~~sludge into the pan with the cooked mushrooms, then serve on the veggies.
