3	Prepare 500 g mushrooms, then cut them in 4 in the height. Reserve.
4	Cooking In a frying pan (not non-stick if possible) on high heat, pour 3 tablespoons olive oil and when it is hot add the mushrooms. Do not salt, otherwise they will give back all their water.
5	Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
6	At the end, add the juice of ½ lemon, then salt and pepper...
7	...and dump into a salad bowl.

13	Season with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
14	When the meat is cooked, pour in 250 ml liquid cream all at once, and if you have any, add 20 g reduced veal stock.
15	Allow to thicken, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula to deglaze the cooking juices.
16	Add mushrooms and leeks at once, mix well and let heat up a few more minutes. Check the seasoning.
17	Your minced meat is ready, serve it hot.

Remarks

The use of a classical (not non-stick) pan is quite important, because all the cooking will be done one by one in the same pan, to be able to take advantage of the juices and tastes of cooking of the previous one.
