Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms. Do not move the mushrooms until they have caramelized on the bottom. If you toss them too soon, they will release their liquid and begin to steam. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter. Cook and toss for 5 minutes, until beautifully browned.
- Season with salt and add the garlic. Saute another 2 minutes, and add the thyme, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook to evaporate the liquid.
- Toss in the parsley and serve immediately.
MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE
A classic mushroom dish which can be served as one of several mezze dishes, or served with crusty rolls or pita bread and a favourite dip for lunch. It's served cold, and will appeal to mushroom lovers! I've adapted it from a recipe in 'Mediteranean Kitchen', and I'm posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
- Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
- Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
- Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
- Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.

Tips:
- Use the freshest mushrooms possible. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse them briefly under cold water. Do not soak them, as this will make them waterlogged.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will allow them to brown without burning.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
