Easy Sauteed Button Mushrooms With Lemon Cream Sauce

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a simple recipe with gourmet taste. Cook down the mushrooms well until there is absolutely no liquid left in them. Just try to resist keeping your spoon away after the complete recipe is cooked, I can honestly say that I can't lol, they are so good Unless you have a huge frypan you most likely will have to do this recipe in two batches, or just prepare half a recipe (2 pounds mushrooms)"

A light coating of lemony sauce to support the flavor of the mushrooms, not overpower it. This recipe has a very nice balance. The serving size (a pound of mushrooms) seems quite large - I think 4 oz might be more reasonable, which would also make the nutrition information more useful. The instructions would be easier to follow if they used the ingredient quantities given in the recipe.

Wonderful mushrooms! I had 2 lbs of mushrooms, so I halved the recipe and made it in 1 batch. The sauce is perfect; it's smooth and lemony, but not too lemony. You're instructions were very helpful and well-written. I'll make these again. Thanx for a great mushroom recipe.
