The people of the Congo forage for mushrooms deep within the forest. Mushrooms provide important nutrients and calories, especially when meat is scarce. This recipe is all about the lemon – with a flavor so intense that it brightens up any dish. Would be great with fish or wild rice.

Instructions
  1. Saute the mushrooms in oil until soft. Lots of juices will accumulate in the pan. That’s ok, they form a light sauce around the mushrooms.
  2. Once squeezed, the citrus juice coats the mushrooms, making them nearly as tart as lemon meringue pie. Without the sugar, of course. Just be sure to add plenty of salt and fresh pepper to finish the dish off.
