SPANISH MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC SAUCE (TAPAS)

Steps:

• Trim off any tough ends of the mushroom stems. Wipe the mushrooms clean with dampened paper towels. If the mushrooms are large, halve or quarter them. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized heavy skillet or fire proof casserole heat 2 Tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring, until barely golden; do not let it brown. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour until smooth. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the broth. Add the chili pepper, 1 Tablespoon of the parsley, the lemon juice, and salt and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
