METHOD:

  3. Cook in the oven from frozen for 15 minutes or until golden. Set aside and leave in the ring mold.

  4. Place the mushrooms and onions onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with the olive oil, garlic and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Place the tray in the oven and roast the mushrooms for 12 minutes then remove from the tray and continue to roast the onions for another 10 minutes.
