- Add half the amount of fresh parsley and save the other half for later. Stir and cover the sauté pan. Cook for 2 mins.
- Remove the lid and taste the mixture, season with salt as required. Cook over high heat for the last min until the mixture is not wet and cooked through.
- Switch off the heat and add the remaining parsley, stir around.

Notes
- While sautéing the onions and garlic I like to add a pinch of salt, this helps bring out the sweetness of the onions and the overall flavor of the dish later.
- If your mushrooms are cooked, you don’t need to put a lid on top of the sauté pan, add the parsley and take it off the heat.
- The cooking time and overall prep time may vary depending on the types of mushrooms being used.
