Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. This one is for the gourmet cooks in the group. You can do this with any standard mushrooms and make it less exotic but the gourmet cooks will appreciate the earthy flavor of the shiitakes.

Servings: Serves 2 – 3. Can be doubled or tripled for a party, easily.

Ingredients: 

• 8 ounces of shiitake mushrooms; groomed and stems cut. The stems are too tough to eat. Toss them. Cut the shiitake tops into strips.
• 2 Tbl of butter
• 1 – 2 Tbl of vermouth (use dry, white vermouth)

Instructions:

Melt butter in a sauté pan. Add the mushrooms and cook on medium high until they just begin to brown on the edges (I like my mushrooms cooked like this. If you like yours more rare you don’t need to cook as long). Pour in the vermouth. The result will steam. Stir. Let cook another minute. The alcohol will be cooked off and you’ll just be left with a wonderful French flavor.

Season with grated sea salt and pepper to your taste.

Serve warm. You can serve this with steak, chicken or even a piece of halibut.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
