Mushrooms on Toast



First published Dec 2010

Mushrooms on Toast (aka Mushroom Bruschetta), Jamie O stylie
Extra virgin olive oil
Handful of mushrooms
Clove of garlic
Chili
Butter
Salt/Pepper
Woody herbs
Lemon cheek

Oil in pan (extra virgin olive oil).
Slice mushrooms, then toss in pan (medium heat).
Add a clove of shredded garlic once the mushrooms have browned a bit.
Add some chopped up woody herbs... thyme, rosemary, etc.
Throw in a bit of salt and pepper.
Add tiny bit of chili.
Bit more oil.
Don't crowd the mushrooms; this causes them to sweat and they don't dehydrate. Give them a couple of minutes, until they start to caramelize.
Add a knob of butter.
Add 12 drops of lemon juice to add some twang.
Add a bit of water to create a sauce.
Then get the pan off the heat before the sauce evaporates or worse, separates!
Serve on buttered toast.
MMMMmmmmmm
