Directions
Soak the dried mushrooms in enough warm water to cover, for 20 minutes, then drain. Chop the rehydrated mushrooms. Wipe the button/white mushrooms and slice.
Preheat the grill/broiler or griddle pan. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the shallots and garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add all the mushrooms together with the pepper, tomatoes and seasoning to taste. Continue to cook over a gentle heat for 5-8 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, toast the bread under the grill or cook in a heated griddle pan which has been lightly brushed with oil.
Place the rocket/arugula or watercress on the toasted bread, then spoon the mushrooms on top, drizzle with a little basil-flavoured oil and serve.
Buon Appetito!
