Debbie R.'s Note:

From Mark Bittman's, "The Best Recipes in the World". Don't mince the mushrooms too finely or they will be too pasty.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion , diced
• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• 1 lb button mushroom
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• salt and pepper

Garnish

• 2 tablespoons fresh dill , chopped (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Trim mushrooms--remove tough ends. Cut into a 1/4-inch dice. If you dice them too small, they'll turn pasty.

3. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with dill.
