Trifolato in Italian comes from the name for truffle in dialect "trifola," and means prepared like a truffle, that is, cooked with garlic and parsley in olive oil. I adapted this from an old Italian recipe. My husband and I really like these mushrooms. These mushrooms would be excellent served with steak.
