1 tablespoon of green pickled peppercorn drained
2 tablespoon of softened butter
1 tablespoon of oil
1 tablespoon of butter
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms or wild mushrooms such as chanterelle or cepe
1/4 cup dry red wine
1. Heat oven to warm. Crush or chop green peppercorns and mix with softened butter. Put aside.
