We are big mushroom lovers in our family. We even like it raw. I order them all the time at restaurants, just because mushrooms sound good. Today I’m sharing one of our favorite ways to eat mushrooms. It’s so simple, yet tastes so good. Earthy mushrooms sautéed in a little olive oil, lightly sweet garlic, topped with a little parsley and Parmesan cheese. This is delicious. Whenever I make mushrooms like this, there’s usually a race to eat as much as I can before they run out. See, we don’t quarrel about them. We are not barbaric. It’s just that you have to be quick so you can clear the bowl before everyone else. Maybe that’s barbaric. No judgement.
