Instructions
- To prepare mushrooms, trim or remove stems and wipe clean with a clean, damp tea towel. Cut mushrooms as needed so they are all roughly the same size. Set aside.
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt butter, lemon zest and juice. Stir in mushrooms, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and stir in olive oil. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and let mushrooms simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in shallots, garlic, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until shallots and garlic have softened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley or chives and serve warm with bread.
