    It's the season for mushrooms in Paris and we've been taking full advantage. We first had them as an appetizer before dinner in a restaurant (Appetizers are called 'entrees' in France, go figure.) They were so delicious and seemed simply prepared so I decided to try to recreate them in our little kitchen.

    Garlic Butter Mushrooms

    And, voilà! Just as delicious and ¼ of the price, my favorite combination. 🙂 

    The markets here have so many varieties to choose from: Oyster, Shiitake, Cremini, Chanterelle, and others that are unfamiliar to me but taste delicious! You can make this recipe with any mushrooms you like, a combination or just a single variety.

    Mushrooms

    If you have leftovers, refrigerate them overnight and stir into soup, pasta or just reheat and serve on their own. They're hearty enough to be a light meal, but I love to serve them alongside a bowl of the French classic, Potato Leek Soup or as the main attraction in Mushroom Barley Soup.

      I always long for markets that carry different mushrooms or any other vegetable for that matter. Here, it's hard to find variety. This recipe looks amazing and simple Marissa! Have a great weekend!

      So many mushrooms! Looks absolutely gorgeous - although I love mushrooms, we can only get a few types readily here at the shops, so I don't use them nearly enough. I love how you have brought out their flavour with the simple combination of butter, shallots and herbs too. Maybe one day I will be in Paris in mushroom season to experience those markets myself!! <3

      This is so lovely, Marissa! I am such a fan of mushrooms, and I remember the French having many wonderful dishes that incorporate them. I love that you've shared a recipe here that I can try at home. I will do so this weekend and report back...probably with a big #NOM and #IWishICouldBeAsTalentedAsMarissa 😉

        You're so sweet, Beeta! I haven't been able to get enough of the mushrooms here - especially the big meaty ones that I can never remember the name of. xo

        Thank you! I'm so enjoying the markets here - feeling a little jealous that you have access to them all the time. 🙂 When we're back in the US, I'll especially miss how easy it is here to get delicious, farm-fresh eggs...

      Hi Marissa! When I was in my 20's (a LONG time ago) I was quite poor and dating a fellow who also was. There was an expensive steak house in town which we couldn't afford, however we could afford the salad (bread was free) and the sautéed mushrooms, which we shared! I couldn't have asked for a better meal! This dish reminded me of that time! Life is so much better when it is simple! 🙂
