I have an Indian takeaway 30 seconds walk from my front door, thankfully. Food ain't great but poppadoms are acceptable.

Chicken schwarma with minted beet coleslaw, marinated Haloumi, salad and chimichurry sauce, all homemade. Taste explosion Attachment 28910

Damn, I haven't tasted coleslaw since 1999, in Guildford. Was there for a year, for my MA degree course. Good times.

It was nice coleslaw - not that horrible salad creamy stuff.

As a general, and fairly strictly followed rule, I don't put mushrooms into a dish with a tomato-based sauce

eg I often stew beef and beans in tomato; I often bake chicken pieces in a wine-and-mushroom sauce

Am I missing out? Are there dishes which have both present?

In my mind they would just rub each other up the wrong way

there are lots of dishes - being a vegetarian (the only thing Canada gave me for free was salmonella in 1999... never went back to meat), I use both a lot.... a fave is mushroom "meatballs" in tomato sauce with spaghetti ..... that being said...if you suffer from gout, both of them are marvellous triggers

Agreed but you can do them in a pan at home so that they are very acceptable. More work than the nuker, but better.

I spray them with coconut oil and place them on a paper towel .... first one takes 40 seconds...after that 30.... if you are rushing around after work to get stuff on the table it's pretty painless..... the type of poppadums make a huge difference too.... I use the Scary Bunny brand --- the Sharwoods and Pataks don't come close....

I just found this which is going on my wish list!!

Boeuf Bourguignon.

Chicken cacciatore.

Bhaji.

I also regularly make classic sausage and mushroom pasta which has a tomato sauce.

I've never seen tomato in Boeuf a la B this side of the ocean, nor in Burgundys other red wine based dishes eg Coq au vin, Oeufs en meurette.

Coq au vin, no, but Boeuf Bourguignon without that bit of tomato paste is just not...quite. It's definitely common in North American versions and also seems pretty standard in the original French versions I've seen..

I've never seen it in the various recipe books I've used for it including one published in Burgundy. I'll ask my mum, she used to live there.
