1 pinch of salt

1 pinch of black pepper

2 T Dijon mustard

2 T peanut oil

2 T butter

1/3 lb mushrooms

1 T red wine vinegar

2 T finely chopped parsley

1. Preheat the grill.

Cook over relatively high heat, stirring the vegetables in the skillet, shaking it as you stir. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and stirring occasionally, about 7-8 min.
