Ingredients

  • 18 ounces large button mushrooms
  • 5 cloves garlic peeled and finely sliced
  • 2 cayenne peppers
  • cup white wine
  • ½ cup good quality olive oil
  • 1 cup parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Clean the mushrooms by trimming off the base of the stem, and then gently wiping with a damp cloth. Slice the mushrooms thinly.
  • Place a frying pan over medium heat, and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the finely sliced garlic cloves and the cayenne peppers. Cook until the garlic begins to turn golden.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pan along with the white wine and a pinch of salt. After the wine is reduced and absorbed by the mushrooms, leave the pan on the heat for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve the mushrooms hot, garnished with parsley and another pinch of salt. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a damp cloth to clean the mushrooms before cooking. Rinsing the mushrooms causes them to absorb extra water, which will make them steam in the pan.
  • Want it extra spicy? Add an extra cayenne pepper.
