“Funghi Trifolati” according to the traditional recipe, means sautéeing mushrooms in a pan with oil, garlic and parsley. It is a classic side dish of the Italian gastronomic tradition. A recipe of extreme simplicity, perfect to pair with meat or fish or polenta or pasta as well as excellent to eat on its own. The recipe originates in Piedmont and is widespread everywhere in Italy.

Slice them about 3-4 mm thick. Mince parsley.
In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil, add peeled crushed garlic cloves and if you like also the chilli pepper. It will give a slightly spicy twist. Let them brown for less than 1 minute on a high flame until golden brown.
