springtime gold

These are truly like gold, because of the price, but so worth it. We had a simple saute of them along with our hamburgers last night and they were sublime.

-clean carefully
-heat olive oil and butter
-cooked sliced mushrooms for about 10 minutes until tender
-deglaze pan with water or white wine

Their rich fragrance lingered for hours after they were gobbled up.
