1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, then fry mushrooms for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon, then set aside. Add remaining oil to the pan, then fry the celery, onion and garlic over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 mins. Add wine, stock and thyme and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 mins.
2. Add the port and redcurrant jelly. Bring back to the boil, then boil for 10 mins until reduced by half and thick and syrupy. Season to taste, discard the thyme and stir in the mushrooms. Simmer for 5 mins.
3. Meanwhile, pull the tops off the brioche and reserve, then pick out dough from the centre to leave a thick shell. (Process remaining dough to make breadcrumbs, then freeze for future use.) Place rolls on a baking sheet, then bake for 5-7 mins until hot and crisp.
4. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the brioche rolls, then garnish with the flat-leaf parsley. Serve immediately with any remaining gravy, potato wedges and green beans.

  Incredibly tasty and really impressive for a special meal. Took longer than expected for the mushrooms to reduce to be syrupy so I'd probably try making them up to this point before guests arrive and then reheat. Finding the right shape brioche was also harder as most are bridge roll shaped, but Sainsburys Taste the Difference had them.

  I had trouble finding brioche rolls so I used large yorkshire puddings instead! The plates were clear so it went down well.

  We did enjoy this meal very much. My only thought was that the port sauce is so strong that you are at risk of loosing the delicate flavor of the mushrooms. When I make this again I'll make less sauce (maybe 1/4th less) so that the mushrooms are only lightly coated, in order to balance the flavours a bit better. I suppose the photo above looks like there isn't much sauce, but my mushrooms were very well coated and there was even a little excess sauce to pour into the bread-- which we found upon eating was a bit too much. It was still tasty though!

  Fantastic flavours! Could't get the brioche rolls (only flat ones available), so used Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Yorkshire puddings. They tasted great and I think I would prefer these to the brioche. The sauce takes quite a while to reduce, but produces a fabulously rich flavour. A great veggie dinner party dish!! Will make again and again
