Monterey Mushrooms

The inspiration for this simple dish comes from Nell’s local Italian eatery, where it is offered as a compliment of the chef to enjoy while you peruse the menu. Allow this dish an hour or two in the refrigerator to infuse the flavors. Simple but quite tasty.

SERVES 4

• 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Place mushrooms in a large bowl. Combine olive oil, oregano, and lemon juice in a small jar and shake well. Pour over mushrooms and mix until well coated.

2. Refrigerate and let sit for an hour or two. Add fresh pepper.
