Sautéed Mushrooms On Toast
To stop mushrooms leaking flavour or going greasy, Waitrose cook Alex Szrok sautés them in a hot, dry pan until golden before adding butter and salt. Cooked like this, mushrooms make the perfect side, or a magical lunch when mixed with a little garlic, crème fraîche and parsley and served on toast, as demonstrated in this simple recipe.

Ingredients
- 500g cup mushrooms, halved
- 30g unsalted butter
- 1 clove/s large garlic clove
- 1 tbsp crème fraîche (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 slice/s white sourdough
Method
Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add your mushrooms, cut-side down. Allow to cook for around 2 minutes before stirring. Cook for 5-8 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are evenly golden and softened. Add the butter and continue to stir until melted and combined. Add the garlic and stir frequently to prevent burning. Cook for around 30 seconds, or until the garlic smells sweet and fragrant. Season with salt, add the crème fraîche, if using, take off the heat and stir through. Finish with the chopped parsley, and season. Serve on a slice of buttered sourdough toast, or enjoy alone.
Cook’s tip
Add garlic at the end so it doesn’t burn. Do not season until cooked, the salt will draw out moisture from the mushrooms, which you want to avoid.
