Run   -   (25 min)
  1. In a sautée pan (3 quart) or skillet heat Olive Oil. Stir in Garlic, Mushrooms and Seasonings items. Immediately tumble vigorously so all the Mushrooms get the same amount of Oil. Fry stirring over moderately high heat until Mushrooms have released some of their moisture. Keep scraping Garlic off the pan so it doesn't burn.
  2. Stir in Lemon Juice. Keep at a strong simmer, stirring often, until liquid is evaporated and you hear the sound of frying. Don't over fry.
  3. Stir in Parsley.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature, with toothpicks to pick them out of the dish.
NOTES:
  1. Chili Flake:

      For almost no heat, use Aleppo Mild. For moderate heat, Aleppo Extra Hot or Kashmir. Beyond that, whatever hot chili flake you like. For details see our Chili Powders & Flake page.
