Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

  • 8 fresh white mushrooms, quartered

  • salt

  • 1 shallot, minced

  • 1 avocado, cubed

  • ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Melt ghee in the skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and salt; cook, without stirring, until they release their moisture, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add shallots; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. Mix avocado into the mushroom mixture; cook and stir until avocado is creamy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

Cook's Note:

Bacon fat or lardons can be substituted for the ghee.

If using lardons, cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of grease in the skillet for cooking. Add lardons back into the skillet with the avocado.
