    Title: Mushroom Baghar (Dry Fried Mushrooms)
    Categories: Indian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1/2 lb Button mushrooms
    4 oz Ghee or cooking oil
    1 sm Onion
    2 cl Garlic
    1 ts Dried thyme
    1 ts Dried sage
    1/2 ts Ground cardamom
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 Lemon

    Preparation time: 5 minutes
    Cooking time: 10 minutes

    If you are in the habit of serving mushrooms for breakfast try this
    recipe as an alternative to straight sautéing in butter. It calls
    for a little more preparation but the spicing, particularly with the
    addition of herbs such as thyme and sage, brings out the flavour.

    Trim away any hard parts from the mushrooms, slice, and put to one
    side. Heat the ghee or cooking oil in a heavy frying pan. Peel and
    thop finely the onion and the garlic, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes
    until they soften, but do not allow them to brown. Stir in the thyme,
    sage, and ground cardamom.

    Add the mushrooms to the frying pan, stirring constantly to ensure
    that they are coated with the ghee or cooking oil. Sprinkle in the
    salt, then squeeze the juice of the half lemon. Cook for a further
    minute and serve.
