I don't always cook, but when I do, I include pistachios.

I love mushrooms. I mean, I love them so much. And if you try sauteeing them this way, you'll love them too!

So: you need mushrooms, and some Lawry Seasoning Salt, garlic powder, and ground turmeric. (To be honest, I prefer the kind of garlic that comes in a jar; but we were out.) Also, you need something to sautee the mushrooms in, and I use real butter. I suppose you could use olive oil if you wanted, but I like the buttery taste.

Finally, don't miss the Zip-Loc bag in back. That bag used to contain shelled pistachios, which I ate; what's left is pistachio powder, my secret ingredient.

Now I put a third of a cup of butter into a sautee pan (okay, frying pan), along with a hefty bit of pistachio dust. Ooh, look, a few pistachios are in there too! —So much the better!

With the pan at medium, I stir in the mushrooms.

Then I sprinkle the seasoning salt (just a little; there's salt in the pistachio dust, too), the garlic powder, and a little turmeric powder. How much? I dunno. A little.

Then, what the heck: To make things interesting, I added a handful of frozen broccoli, too.

Cover the pan and sautee under medium heat for ten minutes. That's just about time to cook something else in the oven: For example, battered fish filets.

And there ya go! I promise, this was amazing to eat or I wouldn't have bothered to post this. Or, for that matter, to cook it!

Enjoy!
