Mushroom Tasting
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ pound mushrooms, finely sliced or cut
- Good crusty bread, sliced and lightly toasted
- Olive oil to brush bread
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium flame. Add oil or butter, salt and pepper. Add mushrooms, 1 variety at a time, and stir until they cook down, a few minutes. Some will brown more and others will collapse and get soft. Remove from heat and set aside. Wash out the pan and repeat with the other mushrooms, 1 variety at a time. Toast bread and cut each slice in 2- to 3-inch pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil. Spoon mushrooms onto bread, keeping the different types separate. Pass the mushrooms around. Compare. Discuss.
