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.

2 large portabello mushrooms
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Bunch of flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

Using a brush and a damp sponge, clean the mushrooms. Remove the stem and save for another use. Slice the mushrooms lengthwise.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm olive oil and slightly cook the garlic. Add sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley towards the end of the cooking time and stir in. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Makes 3 to 4 servings.
