150 gm cultured butter (see note), coarsely chopped

2 golden shallots, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2 lemons, finely grated rind and juice only

Method

Main

1.Brush mushrooms clean, halve larger ones and set aside. Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until foaming. Add shallot and garlic and cook until soft (4-5 minutes). Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until just tender (4-5 minutes). Add lemon rind and juice, herbs, season to taste and serve with buttered toasted baguettes and lemon wedges.

Cultured butter has lactic acid cultures added to it, imparting a slightly tangy flavour.
