This method allows the mushrooms to steam in their own juices, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.

GRILLED MUSHROOMS IN FOIL PACKETS
If you like to grill foods at a picnic, here's a great vegetarian option. Prepare these packets at home, then pack them, ready to grill, in your picnic basket. The recipe is inspired by one in Patricia Wells's cookbook "Vegetable Harvest." You can make this with cultivated or wild mushrooms.

Steps:
- Cut four 12-by-12-inch squares of heavy aluminum foil, or eight squares of regular aluminum foil (stack two sheets each of the lighter foil to make four squares).
- In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Use a large spoon to blend the ingredients.
- Brush the dull side of the aluminum squares with olive oil, and divide the mushrooms among the four squares. Fold the squares over and crimp the edges together to form well-sealed packets. Place on a hot grill, and grill 20 to 25 minutes. Remove one packet from the grill, and place on a plate. Carefully open it to check for doneness. The mushrooms should be tender and juicy. Either transfer to plates or bowls (there will be lots of juice), or cut the packets and eat the mushrooms directly from them. Have lots of crusty bread on hand to sop up the juices.

PORK CHOPS & MUSHROOMS, BAKED IN FOIL
I think this is the perfect dinner party recipe! Easy enough for a beginner cook to handle and yet really impressive! I see no reason why you can't prepare this recipe in advance, up to the wrapping in foil stage, then refrigerate it until you're ready to cook it - perhaps adding 15 minutes to the cooking time. You could substitute a half and half mixture of ordinary sour cream and double cream for the creme fraiche, but the creme fraiche is best and won't separate. This dish is rich, so it only needs simple side dishes. I serve it with Potatoes Anna Recipe #103214 and a steamed green vegetable. It also reheated well in the microwave the next day. It's adapted from a Delia Smith recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Line a large baking tin with alumnium foil leaving a very generous overlap over all sides (you'll probably need four sheets - two across and two lengthwise).
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter and fry the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked chops to the foil lined baking tin.
- Sprinkle chops evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and thyme.
- Add mushrooms to the frying pan, along with a little more butter if necessary, and cook, stirring, until the juices from the mushrooms begin to run.
- Add the lemon juice (it seems like a lot of juice, but it won't be too lemony, trust me) and allow it to boil for 1 minute.
- Now, sprinkle on the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to combine (it looks like a dog's breakfast now, but don't worry!).
- Spoon this mushroom mixture evenly over the pork chops.
- Sprinkle LIGHTLY with a little more salt and pepper.
- Spoon big dobs of creme fraiche evenly over the top of the mushroom mixture.
- Wrap the whole lot loosely in the foil, sealing securely, but making sure you leave some space between the top of the chops and the foil.
- Bake on the centre shelf of the preheated 180c (350F) oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven, unwrap and serve, spooning any extra juices over the chops - you'll find you have more of a 'topping' than a 'sauce'.
- Serve with simple side dishes as this is a rich meal.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Fresh, firm mushrooms with no blemishes or bruises are best. White button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms are all good choices.
- Clean the mushrooms properly. Use a soft brush or a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not wash the mushrooms under running water, as this can make them soggy.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using large mushrooms, you can slice them in half or quarters.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help them to caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the mushrooms in the foil packet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Seal the foil packet tightly. This will help to trap the moisture and steam, which will help the mushrooms to cook quickly and evenly.
