How to Cook

- Leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Make sure it’s piping hot throughout.
*Our wooden trays are designed for the oven. Just make sure they aren’t placed close to any element or flame.

Something
to drink?
You might ordinarily reach for a bottle of white when chicken is on the menu, but the mushrooms in this dish give it a richness that pairs beautifully with fruity reds. Try a beaujolais or pinot noir.
