     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.
