Ingredients

  • 1 lb hen of the woods mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil, for vegan plant-based butter use Miyokos
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions 

  • Clean the hen of the woods mushrooms by using a dry towel and brushing off any dirt(dont wash with water or they will absorb it and become water logged).
  • Separate or chop the mushrooms into smaller sections and add them to a cast iron skillet.
  • Add the butter or olive oil, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and salt to the mushrooms.
  • Place on or in cooking source. When the heat has meted the butter, toss the mushrooms until they are fully coating in the fat and seasonings.
