Sauté

Sautéed  Mushrooms

Mushrooms can garnish for a variety of dishes.  But you can cook and serve the mushrooms as the main dish. To make it better served with a garnish.  I cooked sauté whole mushrooms, and sauté sliced mushrooms with anchovies. The two cooking will go very well with carrots and serve them as a vegetarian dish.  I baked carrot timbale to garnish the mushrooms dishes.  Have some crusty bread or cheese bread to go with it if you wish.


Carrot Timbale, Sautéed Sliced Mushrooms and Sautéed Whole Mushrooms


A Very delightful vegetarian dinner.  Sauté sliced mushrooms with anchovies, and whole mushrooms garnished with carrot timbale.  I cooked cheese flatbread to go with the dishes,  so delish!
