Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • when frying mushrooms ensure the pan is smoking hot, use oil and don’t touch the mushrooms for a couple minutes. This will allow them to get a nice sear on them before you toss.
  • add butter at the end of cooking mushrooms for a nice glossy buttery finish and to help brown them more. If you add butter at the start it will burn by the time you finish
  • salt the mushrooms at the end as the salt will release moisture and not allow the mushrooms to caramelise in the pan
  • you can use frozen corn instead of fresh corn. Defrost it and then toss it in the pan with the mushrooms for a minute to cook
