Spicy Spaghetti & Garlic Mushroom

Oven roasted mushroom
Recipe for Garlic roasted mushroom: 
(Recipe I found on Facebook )

You need:  16 mushrooms whose stalks are cute evenly,
3 tbsp corn or vegetable oil, (I used 2 spoons of vegetable oil)
1/4 c unsalted butter, softened  (I added about 4 spoons of butter),
3 cloves garlic, chopped very finely,
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (I did not add this),
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 c fresh breadcrumbs (I blended garlic croutons and used it as bread powder)
 Directions: 
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Lightly fry the mushrooms, cap-side down, in hot oil for 20 seconds.Arrange the mushrooms in a shallow roasting tin with the stalks facing upwards. Mix together the butter, garlic, thyme, lemon juice and seasoning. Spoon a little garlic butter on to each mushroom, then lightly press the breadcrumbs on top. Either refrigerate for later use, or cook immediately in the oven for 10 minutes.

I added more bread powder than was needed,  yet the mushrooms tasted good! I might try this recipe again, this time using chicken instead of mushrooms and see how it turns out!

I am real bad at writing recipes. I hope you do not have a hard time deciphering it.
Enjoy your day!

Love,
Archana
