Ingredients

1 lb Cremini mushrooms, sliced thin
1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tbsp Shallot, finely minced
1/4 cup Shaved Parmesan (optional)
Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Clean: Gently wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth; do not soak them.
2. Whisk: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
3. Combine: Toss the sliced mushrooms with the dressing and minced shallots.
4. Marinate: Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to soften the mushrooms.
5. Serve: Fold in fresh parsley and top with shaved Parmesan just before serving.

Stewart's Secret: For a deeper savory profile, add a splash of balsamic vinegar. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
