Garlic Roasted Mushrooms
Ingredients
1 pound button mushrooms, halved if large
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 450*F.
2. Toss mushrooms with capers, garlic, oil and 1⁄8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a 9 by 9-inch baking dish.

3. Stir in lemon juice and parsley before serving.
Comments
Shortly before Christmas I found this recipe on Smitten Kitchen and immediately emailed it to my mom as a suggestion for Christmas dinner. She, being a lover of all things mushrooms, quickly agreed. This is a great alternative to sautéed mushrooms when you’re looking for something to serve alongside a delicious steak or cow roast. The sauce is luscious, the mushrooms are well seasoned, and it’s super simple. If you use a mini-processor attachment of a hand blender to chop up the garlic and capers, it’s even easier. Be sure to double the recipe if you’ve got lots of mushroom lovers, 1 pound of mushrooms doesn’t go very far!
