The earthiness of mushrooms is something I love. I'm biased because I don't have anything against the fungi. I like them big and small, stuffed and grilled, sautéed or raw. But if you have family members who aren't as fond of mushrooms, I think starting with a simple sautéed baby bellas is a good move.
Simple sautéed mushrooms. They're easy, tasty, earthy and healthy.
They cook quickly, and they can be cooking on the stove while you work on other parts of dinner.
Ingredients:
8 oz. package of sliced baby bellas
1 turn of the pan of olive oil (probably a tablespoon)
1/2 tsp or 1 tsp of Herbs de Provence
Some chopped garlic if you have it (one clove should suffice)
Red wine or beef broth (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet.
2. Add the mushrooms.
3. Add the spices and wine or beef broth. So, I think these are tasty as is because of the herbs. But a few tablespoons or beef broth or red wine adds some depth. (That is, if you can part with your red wine for non-drinking purposes ... I personally struggle with this.)
