Ingredients

  • 400-500g mixed mushrooms, such as oyster, button, chestnut or portobello
  • 1tbsp vegetable oil
  • 100g butter
  • 12 garlic cloves, peeled, bashed and roughly chopped
  • 3tbsp soy sauce
  • few drops truffle oil (optional)

Method

Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces – for oyster, tear them up; for button or chestnut, cut in half; for portobello, cut into 8 pieces.

Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the mushrooms in a single layer so they brown evenly (you may want to do this in batches). Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms have taken on a lovely colour and tenderised. Remove from the pan and lower the heat .

Add the butter and garlic and cook gently until it softens and caramelises. Add the soy sauce, then return the mushrooms to the pan and stir everything together. Finish with a pinch of black pepper and truffle oil, if using.
