Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra virgin Spanish olive oil
1/2 lb medium mushroom, stemmed, quartered (I used standard brown mushrooms)
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry spanish sherry wine (NOT cooking sherry!)

1/2 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley ("flat leaf")

Steps:

  • In a sautè pan, heat the olive oil until hot but {NOT} smoking. Sautè the garlic for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn!
  • Add the mushrooms and cook 1 minute.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except for the parsley and lemon slices and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve immediately. Serve with lemon slices.
  • Heaven is these mushrooms scooped up with crusty bread! Trust me!
