Mushroom Fry-Up image

This recipe was in the Jun 2006 issue of New Zealand's TASTE which I just received from my cookbook swap partner Tansy. How about that -- a recipe for a mushroom dish that I can really enjoy, 'cause they still have a crunch!

Time 12m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb brown button mushroom, firm
1/2 lb white button mushrooms, firm
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons chives, snipped

Steps:

  • Wipe mushrooms clean with a clean, damp cloth, then cut them in half.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat for several minutes, then add the oil & get it really hot.
  • Drop the butter into the hot oil, where it will quickly sizzle & start to turn golden. BEFORE it turns brown, add the mushrooms!
  • QUICKLY cook the mushrooms for NO MORE THAN 4 1/2 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned. If the mushrooms are cooked too slowly, they will stew, give off liquid & become a soupy mess.
  • Season with black pepper & salt, then add the coriander & chives.
  • Immediately spoon the mushrooms into a serving bowl & ENJOY!
