This is the base recipe for mushrooms and they can then be used in other recipes (or eaten alone as is)...
...I used my handy-dandy Veg-O-Matic to slice the mushrooms - I love that thing...
...perfectly sliced...
...a mixture of Earth Balance and oil - Julia says to make sure your butter is very hot and your mushrooms very dry - or they will steam...
...Julia also recommends small batches - if they are crowded - they will steam instead of frying...
...the mushrooms will first absorb the fat and then after a couple of minutes the fat will reappear on their surface - as soon as they are lightly browned remove from heat...
...if desired - add the optional minced shallots and sauté a couple more minutes...
...I do love me some mushrooms - and these are delicious!!!
