Mushrooms have an interesting, almost meaty texture, and they tend to soak up all the flavorings in a recipe. Mushrooms are very high in vitamin D, the only vegetable source of this nutrient, and are an excellent source of potassium and selenium. Mushrooms can help reduce your cravings for sweet foods and help prevent spikes
in blood sugar that can cause overeating.
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound button mushrooms, halved
4 ounces Camembert cheese, diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
2. Sauté the garlic until translucent about 3 minutes.
3. Sauté the mushrooms until tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the cheese and sauté until melted, about 2 minutes.
5. Season with pepper and serve.
PAIRS WELL WITH
A somewhat elegant dish like these cheesy mushrooms
deserves to be matched with a gorgeous culinary partner. Very good choices include the Nut-Stuffed Pork Chops (page 92) or Lamb Chops with Kalamata Tapenade.
