Tips and Tricks
- I find that I get the best results when using a cast iron skillet, but if you don’t have one, a large saucepan will work.
- For an extra treat, sprinkle a little bit of parmesan cheese on top of your cooked mushrooms. So good!
- Adjust the seasonings in the sauce according to your tastes. Try garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips for Cooking with Cast Iron
- When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
- Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking, as the surface of the iron will be hot.
- Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
- Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
