Ingredients for this mushroom recipe
- 3/4 pound of wild mushrooms.
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced.
How to prepare this mushroom recipe
- Clean any dirt or grass sticking to the rovellons or other edible wild mushrooms with a small kitchen towel. You shouldn't wash them with water, because they lose much of their flavor and properties.
- Cut the hard and dried end of the stem of the mushrooms.
- Cut each mushroom in half and again in half depending on how big they are. Too small pieces burn too quickly, and if they are too big they don't get tender and don't develop their full taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the mushrooms. Stir constantly until they are tender, about seven to nine minutes. You will notice that they change color, becoming darker. You will also feel that the typical forest smell of wild mushroom becomes stronger.
- Add the chopped garlic and the minced parsley. Sautee for about one more minute, stirring quickly all the time to make sure that the garlic doesn't get burned.
- Remove the frying pan from the heat and serve hot. It can be an entrée or a side dish with a second course.
