Peel the garlic or lemon and squeeze out the juice. Pass the garlic through a press. Grind the garlic with salt and lemon juice. Break the egg into a mixing bowl.

We begin to beat the egg, when the mass turns light, pour in the oil in a very thin stream, without ceasing to beat. The result should be a light and very fluffy mass, similar to mousse. Add the garlic mass to this mousse and beat for another minute. The sauce is ready.

It is necessary to place mushrooms in dishes in small portions - no more than 300 g at a time. A simple tip will allow you to fry the champignons efficiently until a beautiful golden brown crust forms.
It is necessary to choose a good product, paying attention to the absence of ice in the packaging and sticky lumps - this indicates violations of storage conditions. When defrosted and re-frozen, mushrooms lose their quality, so the dish will turn out tasteless. Champignons must be the same color and without foreign impurities.
- Heat a wide frying pan well, adding vegetable oil.

Professional chefs do not recommend covering the pan with a lid.
To obtain a dish with an expressive and bright taste, cooking mushrooms should not take more than 7-8 minutes. It is important to ensure that the excess liquid evaporates first - it is not advisable to reduce the intensity of the fire before this stage. If you leave the product in a frying pan, it will turn out dry and will probably burn.

Cooking time depends on the size of the mushrooms. It is advisable to fry small champignons whole for 8-10 minutes, 7-8 minutes for halves and quarters, and thin slices should not be kept in a frying pan for longer than 5-7 minutes.
Frozen semi-finished products are placed in a heated bowl with vegetable oil and fried with occasional stirring for about 12-15 minutes. It takes longer for the liquid to evaporate, so the cooking process lasts longer.
Mushrooms are fried separately for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. After adding the chopped vegetable, 2-3 minutes are enough - and the dish can be served. The onion should become transparent and soft, so you should follow this tip.
Cooking the mushrooms takes up to 10 minutes, depending on the recipe. Do not fry too long, as the delicate product will quickly lose its taste. As soon as the moisture has evaporated and an attractive golden crust appears on the champignons, you can remove the dish from the heat. Only under such conditions will mushrooms retain their expressive and unique taste.
