Slice a medium onion finely and fry in a non-stick pan in spoonfuls of 
best
olive oil, until the colour begins to change, If the onion seems to be
scorching, add a little water to the pan.Add a pound of sliced mushrooms 
to
the pan and cook through.It is great if more than one kind of mushroom 
is
used. Season with salt, pepper and a clove of crushed garlic. Add about 
a
1/2 pint of water or stock(chicken stock is ideal) and stew.for a few
minutes. Disperse some cornflour(cornstarch) in a couple of spoonfuls of
water. Add to the stew stirring as you add. Cook until slightly
thickened.Add a dash of Worcester sauce.Just before servingallow to go 
off
the boil and add a couple of generous spoonfuls of half fat Crème
Fraiche(soured cream ), don't bring right back to the boil, it might
separate.
Quantities and seasonings are flexible. this is one of those recipes you
cook by instinct.
Serve with Basmati rice (the lowest GI rice ) or a flat pasta. A pound 
of
mushrooms serves 2 people generously.
