Tasty Mushrooms

I always prepare this as our side dish specially in times of making our immune system stronger. It's not that easy to find fresh mushrooms though but I hope you could find some, any mushrooms available should be okay but should be the fresh ones not the dried ones.

Stir fried Mushrooms with Parsley and Garlic




Ingredients:

1 cup shiitake mushrooms
1 cup maitake mushrooms
1 cup button mushrooms
(you can mix mushrooms of your choice)

4 cloves of garlic(chopped)
3 tbsp. chopped parsley
½ tsp. butter(optional)
salt and pepper


Directions:

Wash the mushrooms then rinse then stir fry(but do not add water or broth) in a frying pan with garlic, parsley, salt & pepper. The rinsed mushroom will be watery while cooking. Start cooking(medium fire) for 2 minutes then low fire for five minutes until the mushrooms become watery. Takeout the excess soup from time to time until you will hear a sound of like frying a mushroom(save the mushroom soup for other recipe like noodle soup). Stir 1 or 2 times but do not stir too much, let the mushroom be a little bit brownish(about 5 minutes) then turn off the heat/fire. Add extra virgin olive oil after cooking and you can add a little butter if you like. This can be served with rice or add to your pizza as topping.
