Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- You can use any variety of mushrooms you prefer. I use white button mushrooms and baby portabella mushrooms in the photos. I’ve also made this recipe with oyster, shiitake, and creminis. Just throw them all in the pan!
- Use a damp paper towel to gently clean the dirt off of the mushrooms before slicing.
- Do not soak the mushrooms in water. They will absorb the liquid and become very watery.

- Verify that your brand of Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
