AMAZING BUTTON MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse mushrooms to remove any dirt and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim any extra long mushroom stems.
• Add butter and olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Let heat until butter is melted.
• Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Let mushrooms cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow mushrooms to brown and caramelize.
• Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, thyme, and parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
• Toss everything well in the pan, then add to a serving dish, making sure to pour remaining pan drippings over top.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley for garnish and serve warm.

FRIED PUFFBALL MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 225, or to a warm setting.
• Mix the flour with the salt. If you can grind the salt in a spice grinder to make it fine, do it.
• If you haven't already, slice off the root end of the puffball and inspect for any bug damage, the flesh of the mushroom should be perfectly white, not at all greenish-yellow.
• Using a long, sharp slicing knife, slice the puffball into 1/2 inch or so slices. Liberally coat the mushroom slices in flour, then tap off the excess and dip them in beaten egg, then the panko breadcrumbs. Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan (1/4-1/2 a cup should be good depending on the size of your mushroom slices and the size of your pan) on medium heat. When the oil is hot and a breadcrumb sizzles in it, add the puffball slices and cook until golden brown on each side. Watch the heat, and increase or decrease it slightly, keeping an eye on the mushrooms so you don't burn them.
• Pay close attention to the amount of oil in the pan, the breadcrumbs are going to soak up oil, and you don't to let the pan get dry, think of it like a shallow deep-fry. If the pan gets dry, add more oil.
• Once the mushrooms are browned, place them in the warm oven on a cookie sheet with a resting rack to prevent the heat from being trapped and steaming the crispy crust until you're done with the rest.
• When the mushrooms are all fried, sprinkle them lightly with some nice salt if you have, or just kosher salt, dress the arugula or other greens with the lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
