Tips

  • Tearing mushrooms increases surface area for crispiness.
  • Do not season mushrooms with salt immediately to prevent them from sweating and becoming chewy; season after they've started to crisp.
  • Mince shallot to your desired fineness.
  • Emulsify the sauce by killing the heat and adding butter while keeping it moving in the pan.
