Mushroom appetiser with ouzo
Ingredients
About 2 cups of assorted mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. of unsalted butter
4-5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1 shot of Ouzo
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of creme fraiche
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Method
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, add your olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add your mushrooms and toss to coat them well. Season with a little salt and stir occasionally for about 3 minutes (add some more oil if needed).
Cover, reduce to medium and allow to simmer and release their juices for another 5-7 minutes. Add the Ouzo, stir in and reduce for about a minute.
Lower the heat to medium-low, add your creme fraiche and and stir in to heat through and coat your mushrooms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and add the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as an appetiser with some toasted homemade bread.
