I love making mushrooms, ‘coz you can never go wrong with them. This is one of the few ways I deal with portabellas, though I don’t quite like this baked this way. Room for improvement…

Ingredients:

• 3 whole portabella mushrooms
• Minced garlic (2 cloves)
• 3 tbsp of butter
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2 tsp of olive oil
• 2 pinches of thymes
• 1 pinch of oregano
• 3 slices of lemon

Making:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
2. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth.
3. Remove the stems and mince them up.
4. Melt 1 tbsp of butter. Marinate the mushrooms with the melted butter and 1 tsp of salt.
5. Heat up 2 tsp of olive oil in a pan. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in the oil. The olive oil helps prevent the butter from getting too burnt too quickly.
6. Mix in the minced garlic and mushroom stems. Add the thymes and oregano leaves. Fry this mixture till it turns golden brown. Set this mixture aside.
7. After marinating the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, coat the mushrooms with the mixture.
8. Put the mushrooms on a baking tray (face up - to keep the juices in). Place a slice of lemon on each mushroom.
9. Bake the mushrooms for 12 minutes at 350F.
