Especially for those of us who love mushrooms.
It’s a quick and easy spread for crackers, perfect for a gathering.
Add the mushrooms and shallots.
Saute for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper while cooking.
Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat.
While the mushrooms are cooking, heat a small skillet on high heat.
Add the pine nuts.
Cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to get a little toasted.
(Keep your eyes on the nuts, they can burn pretty quickly.)
Add more salt and pepper, if needed, to taste.
Sprinkle on cayenne pepper, to taste.
Spoon onto a large butter lettuce leaf and serve with crackers.
(Use rice crackers for a gluten-free option.)
