Totally moreish, these nachos make the best vegetarian party dish! I have a lot of room in my heart for the traditional chilli-topped nachos (Chris makes an amazing version with slow cooked beef and pork). However, sometimes, I just want a plateful without having to wait for a few hours whilst the chilli-con-carne cooks. Usually, I’d serve up some nachos with salsa and guacamole for a quick-fix, but it’s not quite the same as having a star topping with lots of salty-garlicky flavour. This is where my veggie nachos come in! Chris and I were out at a restaurant a while back (Las Iguanas in Manchester - love love love the cocktails in there!!), and I spotted garlic thyme mushroom nachos on the menu. I didn’t actually order them (because Chris and I were sharing - and he doesn’t like mushrooms), but I loved the idea, and decided to whip up my own take on it. My version doesn’t use thyme. I’ve instead replaced with chopped up red and green chilli peppers, plus a sprinkling of fresh coriander. I also used some crumbly Lancashire cheese to compliment the mushrooms. The mushrooms are fried with butter, garlic, salt and pepper. The chillies are added at the last minute and then the whole mushroomy concoction is spooned over a pile of waiting nachos before being sprinkled with lots of crumbly cheese. You can serve them at this point - without putting them in the oven. Or, if you prefer your nachos warm with melty cheese, place them in a hot oven for 2-3 minutes before serving. Nachos with a bit of a difference. Definitely, one that’s going to disappear fast on your party table! Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
