Warm mixed mushroom salad with rocket and mozzarella on toasted ciabatta

Mushrooms and mozzarella are one of my favourite combinations and in this case, paired with salty prosciutto and zingy rocket, it’s heaven on a plate. I’ve chosen three of my most-loved mushroom varieties here, but if you can’t find them or prefer other kinds, simply replace with your own selection. Photograph by Todd Eyre.

Method

1.Place a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat, add half the butter and half the oil and bring to a sizzle.

Transfer to a mixing bowl and repeat with remaining mushrooms, cooking them until softened and stirring in the parsley. Transfer to the mixing bowl.
