Sauteed Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 2 lbs of sliced, cremini mushrooms
• Butter
• Garlic
• Salt, black pepper, soy sauce
• Lemon juice, parsley (optional)
• Red wine (optional

Instructions

1. Melt the butter, gently in a large pan
2. Mince the garlic finely, and add it to the butter pan. Salt very very lightly!
3. Slowly simmer the mushrooms, adding it in batches so that it does not get overcrowded. Preferably, you remove all the moisture from the mushrooms so that they get just a touch crispy
4. Don't forget to very lightly salt the mushrooms at the start of cooking, but hold back - you want most of the salt to really come from the soy sauce instead.
5. Some recipes recommend using high heat to sautee the mushrooms, but I do worry about burning the butter!
6. Towards the end, add any acids and garnishes that you want - whatever leftover red wine, lemon juice, or parsely you may have on hand. If you want it to be a bit creamier, you can also add a splsh of heavy cream and allow it to simmer and reduce.
