Garlic Pepper Mushroom

Here is a super simple recipe for evening snacks...as long as you have fresh mushrooms in your refrigerator...i always keep them handy because i love mushrooms....it's  a great side dish for steaks too....the story behind me creating this dish is...when i was working in Noida, India i use to go to Pizza hut, there they use to serve this dish, really yummy...but i couldn't get the same taste anywhere else in India....after coming to USA i came to know that this dish is only available in India...so i created this one.....though i still miss the actual taste....

Ingredients:-

2tbs of extra virgin Olive Oil
25o grams of Mushroom
10 nos of green chillies ( Slit)
5 large cloves of garlic ( Chopped)
1tbs of coarsely ground black pepper powder
1/2 cup of  fresh parsley ( Chopped)
Salt as per taste


Method:-

Wash the mushrooms & pat it dry with paper towel.
Do not soak mushrooms in water as they tend to absorb water & that will increases it's cooking time.
Heat oil in the heavy bottom pan, add the chopped garlic & gr. chillies & fry for a min(taking care not to burn it).
Add mushrooms & saute till all of the water evaporates  & they are tender.
Add rest of the ingredients & cook for 5min .
Voila.....!!! mushroom is ready....enjoy:)
