Method
For the bread sauce, rip the bread into large chucks, place in a large bowl and cover with milk and let the bread soak for half an hour.
Drain the bread from the excess milk but do not squeeze any of the milk from the bread.
Place the almonds, garlic cloves and olive oil into a blender and blitz on high until the almonds have broken up.
Add the bread and white wine vinegar and continue to blend until you get your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper.
For the mushrooms, place a large pan over a high heat.
Add in the olive oil and mixed mushrooms. Sauce down for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are just cooked.
Before you take them off the heat, add in the chopped parsley, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
To plate, serve the mushrooms on top of the bread sauce and then sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds.
