Roasted Oyster Mushrooms

Roasting these mushrooms in the oven lends rich, concentrated flavor—delicious!

Ingredients:
1½ pounds Oyster mushrooms, halved if large
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
½ cup chicken stock
¼ cup olive oil
Freshly-chopped parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°.

2. Arrange the mushroom slices on a large rimmed baking sheet in a slightly overlapping layer. Dot the mushrooms with butter and drizzle with the chicken stock and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Roast the mushrooms in the center of the oven for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the stock has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned in spots. Blot with paper towels and transfer to a plate. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the parsley and serve.
