Pan-fried mushrooms

Mushrooms are one of the simplest things to pan-fry. In autumn, wild mushrooms such as pines and slippery jacks are excellent, but spring brings the magnificent morel. Try morels combined with button mushrooms, or use your favourite mix of exotic mushrooms, such as oyster or shiitake.

Ingredients

  • 500 g mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 50 g butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Cut mushrooms to a similar sizes, if necessary, to allow even cooking. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat, then add oil and butter. Add mushrooms and toss to coat.

Continue cooking, moving mushrooms so that they cook evenly, until they start to soften. Add salt, pepper and fresh chopped herbs to taste. Serve straightaway, on toast for breakfast, lunch or supper, or to complement grilled meats.
