Herbed Mushrooms with White Wine

Okay so maybe this one is cheating. I love mushrooms, so it's not that hard for me to find ways to fix them that I like. But the point is, I guess, that I haven't been eating my veggies like I should so I'm making more of an effort now.

Herbed Mushrooms with White Wine

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place mushrooms in the skillet, season with Italian seasoning, and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Mix the wine and garlic into the skillet, and continue cooking until most of the wine has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives. Continue cooking 1 minute.

I pretty much followed this one as written, except I didn't add salt or pepper. I know that seems to be a trend with me - I rarely do add salt but I will add pepper quite a bit. None of these recipes so far really seemed to need pepper though. If I felt like there was something missing, it didn't seem to be pepper.

Last night was actually the second time I made this. The first time I used whole mushrooms - they were good, but they did take longer to cook and weren't quite as good as last night, when I used sliced mushrooms. The recipe doesn't specify but a dinner guest with the whole mushrooms suggested he thought they would be better sliced. I agreed and now that I've done it both ways, sliced is better.

I give it an A!
