SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS
4 servings

Quarter or thinly slice to uniform thickness:

  • 1 pound mushrooms

Heat a very large skillet over medium-high until hot. Add:

  • 3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil

Add the mushrooms and shake the skillet to coat the mushrooms. If desired, add:

  • (1 garlic clove, thinly sliced)

Cook over medium-high heat, shaking the skillet frequently. At first the mushrooms will seem dry and will absorb the fat. Continue to shake the skillet until the mushrooms begin to color and release their juice, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with:

  • Salt and black pepper

Use as a garnish for cooked meats, pasta, and grains, or simply serve on:

  • Toast rounds
