I used to be a high school Spanish teacher, and I still consider it my favorite job (or would that be the Arby's drive-through-girl?)
I am a sucker for Spanish grammer, Latin music and the amazing process of learning a new language. I liked to point out to the students that some words are simply more fun to say in Spanish. "Las Pantuflas" (Pan-tooo-flas) means slippers. It's just fun to say. I also have a soft spot for "Los Hongos" (Own-goes) which means "mushrooms." They taste good. They are fun to say. BRING ON LOS HONGOS!!!!
I saw this incredible recipe for mushrooms slathered in butter on Gourmet.com. Then one of my favorite food blogs SmittenKitchen featured the same recipe. I knew it was fate. These mushrooms were calling out to me.
And they are good! The mushrooms didn't disappoint, but sopping up the garlicky-butter-goodness with crunchy bread is really the highlight of this dish.
Roasted Mushrooms Soaked in Butter and Garlic
Source: Gourmet.com
- 1 lb mushrooms such as cremini or white, halved lengthwise if large
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Preheat oven to 450ºF with rack in middle
Toss mushrooms with capers, garlic, oil, and 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper in a 1 1/2- to 2-qt shallow baking dish. Top with butter and roast, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.




That entire meal looks TO DIE FOR. I'm inviting myself to your next dinner party, m'kay?
