Wild Mushrooms with Shallots and Garlic really are the perfect side dish, they are also an amazing topping to a perfectly grilled steak or burger. I just love going to a gourmet food market and getting a wide variety of ‘shrooms.
Each variety has its own special flavor and characteristics, and when sauteed in butter with shallots, garlic and a little red pepper…wow oh wow!! Delicious!! And the other amazing thing about this recipe is that it comes together in less than 30 minutes!! 125% Loon Approved!
