This is I think the easiest of all the mushroom recipes i
have tried so far and also my new favourite one.
I think even less that 5 minutes you need with ingredients and rest is done by the oven. The best part is the aroma of garlicky butter, the tangy taste added by lemon juice, light e.v. oil and the parsley call you to dig bread in juice to soak up all it goodness.
So, the first time i prepared it, when my sisters in law’s parents in laws were visiting us and i wanted to make starter which doesn't take my time yet delicious and filling! So, i stumbled upon this recipe on smittenkitchen.com.
Gotten everything ready before they
arrived and popped them into the hot oven, while they settled had ready to
eat.. The aroma had already penetrated the air making us hungry! Well, i didn't
expect that seriously... Frankly, for me, the aroma from butter and garlic can
beat any essential oils I use.
