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

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 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.
2. Put butter (or oil) in skillet and turn heat to medium. A minute later, add onion and garlic. Cook till softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms. Raise heat to med-high, and cook until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with dill.
