How to cook deliciously - Mushroom Caviar

1. Stage

Sauté the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic: Melt the butter in a large skillet on high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Sauté for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper while cooking. Once the mushrooms have cooked for about 5 minutes, add the garlic and a tablespoon of dry white wine (if using). Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat.

2. Stage

Toast the pine nuts: While the mushrooms are cooking, heat a small skillet on high heat. Add the pine nuts. Cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to get a little toasted. (Keep your eyes on the nuts, they can burn pretty quickly.) As soon as they begin to toast, remove the pan from the heat and put the pine nuts into a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Stage

Add the remaining ingredients: Once the mushrooms have cooled down a bit, mix in the toasted pine nuts, sour cream, lemon juice, and parsley. Add more salt and pepper, if needed, to taste. Sprinkle on cayenne pepper, to taste. Chill before serving. Spoon onto a large butter lettuce leaf and serve with crackers. (Use rice crackers for a gluten-free option.)
