Mushrooms "à la grecque" (Greek-style) is a simple way to enhance sautéed mushrooms with the flavours of olive oil, herbs and lemon.

A common variation is to add tomatoes – just one of many possibilities.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Prepare 500 g mushrooms, cut them in 4 in the height.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Prepare 50 g onion and chop finely.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan on high heat. When good and hot, add the chopped onion., the parsley and bayleaf.

Salt, pepper and cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Add the mushrooms and the juice of ½ lemon. Mix well and sauté for a few minutes.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

At the end of cooking, when the mushrooms are beginning to soften, remove and discard the parsley and bayleaf. Salt and pepper, then checking seasoning.

Stage 6

Serve on their own, or to accompany poultry or veal, for example.

Remarks

As I mentioned in the introduction, many people add tomatoes, but this is not essential to the recipe and I really don't feel it improves on the basic defining flavours of the herbs and lemon.

If you'd like an even more distinctive flavour, add the lemon zest in stage 5.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
