A long day, as my eyes are acting up again (bah!), but I did have Dim Sum with my peeps, which was amazing (especially after we learned to wait for the steamed dishes, and to never, ever, order beef tripe). I spent the balance of the day cooking (which is what I do when I'm feeling down, because it gives me something to do instead of feeling down, and then I get delicious food for a free added bonus!).
I cooked these steakhouse mushrooms, and you should, too. I ate the entire half-pound myself, so, if you have other people eating with you, you might want to increase the recipe.
BECAUSE IT'S DELICIOUS
Steakhouse Mushrooms
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
To start:
1/2 pound white mushrooms, cut in half
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp capers
1 tbsp garlic cloves (or crushed garlic)
1 good pinch salt
2 good grinds pepper
1 1/2 tbsp butter
To finish:
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
Put the cut up mushrooms, oil, capers, garlic, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl, and mix well, until all of the mushrooms are covered.
Transfer into a baking dish (I used a bread dish, but a ceramic or glass casserole dish would be better), cover with thin slices of butter, and roast for 15 minutes. THEY WILL NOT BE DONE YET. Now set your timer for 2 minutes, and check to see if the butter is starting to blacken and bubble around the edges. If it is not, set your timer for another two minutes.
Once you have the thickened, black-around-the-edges, bubbly, garlic-y goodness, transfer to a warm plate.
Add more butter if you like. Because BUTTER.
Finish with lemon juice and parsley.
EAT IN FACE.
Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!! :)
