List of Ingredients:

Button Mushrooms – 200 grams
Unsalted Butter / Olive Oil – 2 tbsp
Garlic cloves – 3 to 4
Salt – to taste
Lemon – 1 tsp
Cilantro – For garnishing

Recipe Notes:

1. For vegan version use olive oil instead of butter.

2. Button mushroom have been used here as they are most readily available near me. Feel free to experiment with your favourite mushroom.

3. I used unsalted butter & then added salt from above as I like salt on lighter side. If you are using salted butter, skip adding the salt otherwise.

4. You can sprinkle more herbs of your choice like rosemary, thyme & oregano etc.

Steps To Prepare:

Step1:
Rub the surface of mushrooms gently with a kitchen towel to remove excess dirt.

Cut the mushrooms into slices as shown below. If the stem of the mushroom is soggy or has spots, then chop that off also.

Step2:
Dip these mushroom slices into water and gently scrub them with your fingers without breaking the pieces. Leave them on a kitchen towel to dry.

Step3:
Chop the garlic really fine. Take butter/olive oil in a microwave safe bowl. Add chopped garlic into it. Microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds till butter melts completely.
