Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. A ripe peach. A perfectly soft boiled egg. Bread fresh out of the oven.
I’d also put garlic mushrooms in this category. True, it’s a dish that requires a teensy bit of chopping and cooking but it’s only a few minutes at most. You simply chop up some garlic, shallots and mushrooms, fry them in a mixture of butter and olive oil and then add wine, salt and pepper to finish. It’s not hard; if you can fry an egg you can make this dish.
Besides being absolutely scrumptious, garlic mushrooms are versatile, too. You can eat them plain on hot toast, fold them over a soft boiled egg, use them as a side with steak, stir them through hot pasta with olive oil and parsley, add them to a green salad, or serve them as part of a cooked breakfast. There is simply no bad way to eat them.
Go ahead. Treat yourself.
