Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 lb fresh mushrooms, in 1/8-inch slices
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • In 1-qt enamel, glass or stainless stell pan, bring water and lemon juice to a boil. Add sliced mushrooms; cover pan. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain in sieve; pat dry with paper towels.
  • In 1-qt bowl, combine cream, onion, sugar salt and pepper. Add mushrooms. Toss lightly until well covered. Serve as a salad on crisp, dry lettuce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal mushrooms. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from steaming instead of frying.
  • Season the mushrooms generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Let the mushrooms cool slightly before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and color.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a tangy dressing made with yogurt or citrus juice.
