Mouthwatering Mushrooms

 

 

 

1 lb shiitake mushrooms

3 T olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 T chopped fresh cilantro, oregano or parsley

Salt and crushed red pepper flakes

 

Rinse the mushrooms quickly to remove grit. Cut off and discard the

tough stems.

 

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and

cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook,

stirring often, until the mushrooms give off their juice and it

evaporates, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with

salt and pepper flakes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.

 

Cheesy Mushrooms: Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Sprinkle

with 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese and cover loosely with aluminum

foil. Let stand until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle

with the cilantro and serve immediately.

 

Large button mushrooms, cut into quarters, can substitute for the

shiitake mushrooms.
