Ingredients
- Mushrooms of choice — morel, oyster, lion’s mane, shaggy mane or chicken of the woods are especially suitable
- Butter, coconut oil or another high-heat cooking oil
- Salt, optional
Method
- Chop or tear the mushrooms into strips or bite-size pieces.
- Heat a frying pan until hot, then add the mushrooms dry.
- Toss occasionally while they release moisture, shrink and begin to brown.
- Add butter or oil and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Fry another minute or two until the edges are browned and lightly crisp.
- Serve as a side, burger topping, soup garnish or straight from the pan.
