Beech Mushrooms

Here's another variety of mushrooms. I didn't realize there were so many different types of edible mushrooms available at our local grocery store! These beech mushrooms are cute and delicate looking, but dense and hearty tasting. 

I made a small batch of this recipe and served them alongside our Arroz Amarillo and Bang Bang Shrimp and they were quite good. However, I think they'd be better as a garnish for a nice steak.

Stir Fried Beech Mushrooms

• 3 1/2 oz package Beech Mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Melt half the butter in a small frying pan and cook the mushrooms for about ten minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook for a couple of minutes until the liquid is reduced. Top with remaining butter and serve warm.
