This made a simple but delicious lunch during the week.

This is really delicious. DD (toddler) says so as well. I only used 2 kinds of mushrooms and it was a very nice addition to breakfast. I think I preferred it without the freshly squeezed lemon juice though. I did everything to taste not measure. I used unrefined extra virgin olive oil, sweet butter (unsalted), button & regular white mushrooms, cayenne pepper powder instead of the red chili as that is what I had on hand, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, Italian flat leaf parsley, plus the onion & freshly squeezed lemon juice. We had this along with eggs and rice cakes to be gluten free. Made for ALMOST 5 GAME.

Boy, this is delish!! I only had two kinds of mushrooms, but this recipe transcends using any great mushrooms and this was the case. It was a hot afternoon, and needed something that was totally easy and quick to do, and delicious! Well this did it! Lovely and full of flavor food was on the table in minutes!
