3 ounces fresh button mushrooms

1½ tablespoons olive oil

1½ tablespoons butter or margarine

⅛ teaspoon (or to taste) chili powder

• Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth. Slice thinly and cut off the stems if desired.

• Heat the olive oil in the frying pan. Lay the mushrooms flat in the pan. Cook on medium heat until most of the oil is absorbed, about 3 to 5 minutes.

• Add the butter or margarine. Stir in the chili powder. Cook the mushrooms on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Serve hot.
