Mushrooms are one of those foods for which proper technique makes all the difference. Cooked correctly—browned well, juices evaporated, and amply salted—they're full of flavor. Cooked badly—underseasoned and steamed instead of seared—they're slimy and insipid. The trick is to resist moving the mushrooms around in the pan. Cook them until they have colored on one side, then cook them on the other side, until their juices are almost completely gone, which concentrates their flavor. Seasoned well with coarse salt, they're irresistible.
