Pan Roasted Mushrooms


Love fried mushrooms or stuffed mushrooms? Go straight to the great mushroom flavor with this little beauty.  This could be one of the healthiest, quickest, most inexpensive appetizers you will ever make. These are so tasty, you might want to double or triple the batch. If you do, just do them as separate batches so the pan isn’t crowded which would steam the shrooms rather than letting them develop a crust.

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 pkg (10 oz) mushrooms, quartered (I like cremini, but use what you’ve got)
2 teaspoons dried herb flavoring, such as herbes de provence


Directions: Heat a large (12”) skillet over medium high heat and add the olive oil and mushrooms. Let the mushrooms cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Turn the mushrooms (tongs come in handy here) over and let cook, again without stirring for 5 minutes. At this point, there should be a lovely crust forming and the moisture should be absorbed from the pan. Turn once more, add the seasoning and Pour into a bowl.

Get creative on me: What fun you can have with this recipe! Change the herbs to anything you like such as Italian herbs, cumin, curry, or just good ol’ salt and pepper. A little sprinkle of parmesan would be heaven, too.  I actually meant to dust some finishing salt on top of these, but couldn’t wait to eat them!
