Mushroom Madness
On our last Costco trip, be bought 2 packages of 4 huge portobello mushrooms each, for under $9 total! He has a severe case of mushroom madness. Whenever we visit my parents in VA, my mom makes mushroom dish after mushroom dish for him. As a kid, my siblings and i stopped eating mushrooms after seeing some old black and white Japanese movie about people who went nuts and had growths all over their faces, and who probably went around and killed all the other castaways on the island, all from eating mushrooms. I think my brother still won't eat them, but my sister and i have seen the light. She makes a mean Rachel Ray mushroom fries dish, courtesy of our friends at Lake Isle Press, that my mom now makes since she likes it so much!Tonight be made one of our favorite mushroom dishes that we love to eat on Parisi bread, but any bread will do. It's super easy and everyone will want more.
2 cups finely chopped portobello mushrooms (1 large or 2 small caps)
2 T butter
1-2 cloves crushed garlic
salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat, add garlic and stir. Add mushrooms and stir to coat. The mushrooms will cook down significantly, stir occasionally and lower the heat if necessary. When the mushrooms turn dark brown and there's only a little juice left, add salt and pepper and serve on toasted bread, crackers or in pasta.
