Mushroom Fry-Up

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. 1

   Wipe mushrooms clean with a clean, damp cloth, then cut them in half.

2. 2

   Heat a large frying pan over high heat for several minutes, then add the oil & get it really hot.

3. 3

   Drop the butter into the hot oil, where it will quickly sizzle & start to turn golden. BEFORE it turns brown, add the mushrooms!

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Season with black pepper & salt, then add the coriander & chives.

6. 6

   Immediately spoon the mushrooms into a serving bowl & ENJOY!
