• 1/2 clove of garlic
• a few sprigs of chopped parsley

Method :

1. Peel the cepes or mushrooms carefully and put them in a deep frying pan of hot oil with the stalks uppermost.
2. Cook for about 10 minutes, then turn them and cook slowly for another 5 to 8 minutes till they are tender.
3. When they are half done, add the chopped shallots, agrlic, and season well with salt and pepper.
4. Serve on a very hot dish, pour a little of the hot oil, shallots, and garlic over them and sprinkle with the parsley.
