Ingredients
  

  • 125g (4.5 oz) small button mushrooms
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • pinch dried chilli flakes
  • pinch smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon fresh flat leaf parsley roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • With a damp cloth or piece of kitchen paper, gently wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt. (There is no need to peel them).
  • Depending on their size, leave the small mushrooms whole and halve any larger mushrooms. You want them to be a small bitesize.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat and fry the mushrooms for 2 minutes, until the liquid from the mushrooms starts to run.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the crushed garlic, chilli flakes and smoked paprika.
  • Add the lemon juice or sherry vinegar (take care as this can spit) and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and stir through the parsley. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve straight away or at room temperature.

Notes

This recipe serves 2. You can easily, double, triple or quadruple the recipe. If making larger quantities then use a larger frying pan or prepare in 2 seperate batches. If the frying pan is too crowded the mushrooms will simmer rather than fry and won't get those lovely flavour packed golden edges.
