Ingredients

250 gms Button Mushrooms(washed and cut into half orquarters)
2 Tspn Butter (Ensure the Butter is cold and hard)
1 Tspn Olive Oil
4 cloves of Garlic chopped fine
½ Tspn Some crushed pepper
1 Tspn Dried Oregano
½ Tspn Salt or as per taste
1/2 Tspn Chilly flakes
1/2 Tspn Sesame seeds (for garnish)
3-4 sprigs fresh coriander with stem chopped fine

Instructions

Heat a Pan and Add the Butter and Oil
Note: Whenever we use Butter, we heat the Pan first and then add the Butter or else the Butter burns and turns brown
Also, when using butter, there has to be Oil to control the smoke point of butter which is very high. So if you use only butter, most of the time you will notice when it gets heated, it turns brown very quickly. So always remember to use a little oil when using butter for any dish, it won’t turn brown
Add the chopped the Garlic and turn the heat to high
Immediately add the Mushrooms into the Pan and let it cook on high heat for 2 minutes or so
Some Tips to remember while frying Mushrooms
(1)  Always cook Mushrooms on High Heat. If cooked on low to medium heat, it will begin to sweat and a lot of moisture will be released
(2)  Wait for around 2 minutes or so until the Mushrooms get a crispy coat and only then start tossing it or else if it is tossed from the beginning, the pan will begin to lose its heat and the Mushrooms will release its juices
(3)  Add the Salt only after the Mushrooms are tossed and fried well. Salt has a property of making Food release it’s juices naturally while getting cooked. So, if you add the salt first, the Mushrooms will turn soggy
Then start tossing the Mushrooms(or you can also use a spoon/spatula to stir the mushrooms)
Mushrooms cook quickly so add the Salt, Oregano, Chilly flakes and Crushed Pepper and continue tossing for another 3-4 minutes until the Mushrooms turn dark grey/brown
Then add the chopped coriander and toss it for a minute.
Turn off the Heat, sprinkle some sesame seeds and enjoy these Hurry Burry Mushrooms for Breakfast with Eggs or for Dinner with some stir fry Veggies and a Protein of your choice or as I mentioned above, serve it to your guests as a starter!
