Notes du chef

I treat mushrooms like meat — high heat, no crowding, and don't touch them until they develop a golden crust.

Made this for a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. It's impressive enough for guests but easy enough for Tuesday night.

Five stars! The flavour combination is spot on. I added a little extra garlic because that's how we like it, and it was incredible.
