Harissa Maple Mushrooms to get your COOKING MOJO back!

It feels sheepish to admit it - but sometimes even the host of a FOOD PODCAST can lose their cooking mojo!Given we have a bit more spare time over the summer (hopefully), Yumi has decided it's time to pick up her weapons - the kitchen knives - and get back in the kitchen. The mojo isn't dead, it's just very, very tired, it's dormant, it's burnt out and it needs something achievable to bring back the belief! ACHIEVABLE works! There's even a bit of live cooking action as she cooks WHILE RECORDING THIS EPISODE.We also get into the origins of Harissa Paste and some good ways to use it. Enjoy!HARISSA MAPLE MUSHROOMS interpolated from NY TIMES COOKING⅓ cup olive oil2½ tbs maple syrup 2 tbs harissa paste1 tsp sweet paprika1 tsp ground cumin1¾ tsp fine sea salt (!)500g any mushrooms that look good, slicedGreek yoghurt and salt to serveCombine the first 6 ingredients then pour over the sliced mushrooms.
