This dish is common to many areas along the hilly Apenine strip running from Liguria to central Italy. Some people marinate the mushrooms in oil and vinegar; while others prefer to use oil alone, and still others merely sprinkle the sliced mushrooms with oil. Serve this dish either as an antipasto or as an elegant accompaniment for white meat.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon wine vinegar

10 fresh basil leaves

10 ounces fresh porcini or portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 ounces fresh parmesan cheese, very thinly sliced

watercress leaves, for garnish
