How to cook it

  1. Gently brush any debris off the mushrooms. Tear large clusters into bite-size pieces and pat dry.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then mushrooms in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to brown.

  3. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until golden. Work in batches if the pan is crowded.

  4. Turn heat to medium-low. Add butter and garlic; toss for 30–60 seconds, until fragrant.

  5. Season with salt and pepper, finish with lemon and parsley, and serve while the edges are still crisp.

Kitchen note

The secret is a hot, uncrowded pan. Too many mushrooms at once and they will steam instead of brown.
