INGREDIENTS
- 900 g/2 lb mixed fresh wild and cultivated mushrooms, such as morels, porcini, chanterelles, oyster or shiitake
- 30 ml/2 tbsp olive oil
- 30 g/1 oz/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 or 4 shallots, finely chopped
- 45-60 ml/3-4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, or a mixture of fresh herbs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Wash and carefully dry any very dirty mushrooms. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms into quarters or shoe if very large.
2 In a large heavy frying pan, heat the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl to melt, then stir in the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until beginning to brown.
3 Add the garlic and shallots and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid given off has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley or mixed herbs.
