Method
- 1
Halve or quarter the mushrooms depending on size. Thinly slice the garlic.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, wide frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add the mushrooms in a single layer — do not stir for 2 minutes to allow them to colour properly.
- 3
Add the garlic, chilli flakes, and thyme, toss, and cook for a further 2 minutes until the garlic is golden.
- 4
Pour in the dry sherry and let it reduce for 1–2 minutes until almost evaporated. Season well with salt and pepper.
- 5
Remove the thyme stalks, scatter over the chopped parsley, and serve hot in a cazuela or small dish.
