The volcanic soil of the Massif Central is excellent for mushrooms. In this recipe any kind of wild mushroom, fresh or dried, can be used and it is also a good way to enliven cultivated mushrooms for serving on toast as a first course, or as an accompaniment to meat or chicken.
Prepare the fresh or dried cèpes*. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan. Add the cèpes with salt and pepper and sauté over a high fire for 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook over a low fire, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until thè cèpes are tender. Stir in the cream, bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes; taste for seasoning.
