Ingredients

• 600 g mixed mushrooms (chestnut, button, porcini or oyster), wiped and sliced
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, lightly crushed
• 20 g Butter
• 1 handful Parsley, finely chopped
• Salt
• Black pepper

Method

1. Heat the oil in your widest frying pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Let it sizzle for 1 minute to flavour the oil.
2. Add the mushrooms in a single layer (cook in two batches if needed) and leave them alone for 2 min to brown. Then stir and cook for 5–6 min more, until the liquid they release has evaporated and they are golden.
3. Turn the heat down, add the butter and season with salt and pepper; salting at the end keeps the mushrooms from going soggy.
4. Stir in the parsley, remove the garlic and serve hot.

Tips

• Wipe mushrooms with damp kitchen paper instead of washing them, so they brown instead of steaming.
• Swap the butter for more olive oil to make it vegan.
