How to make these mushrooms in salsa verde
- Put the oil and mushrooms in a hot pan. When they are golden, add a pinch of salt. Do not add the salt until the mushrooms are golden brown, this will prevent them from releasing their liquid and making this dish very watery.
- While the mushrooms are browning, prepare the sauce, and the salsa verde.
- Then you add the sauce to the mushrooms, and lastly, you add the peas. Let it a season and that’s it.
🔥Important Tip🔥 An important point is that you should not salt the mushrooms until they are golden brown so that they do not release all the liquid. One of my teachers said that when the mushrooms start sqking at the bottom of the pot or pan, it means they are ready for seasoning.
