How to Make Piccata Sauce
  1. Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat, once hot add the parsley leaves.
  2. Fry the leaves until bright green and they become crispy. Place on a paper towel to cool.
  3. Place the lemon slices in the same pan with the heat remaining over medium-low. Cook the slices until they start to brown on the edges. Remove 3-4 slices; place on a paper towel.
  4. Add the sliced shallots and garlic, salting until tender.
  5. The capers are added next, cooking until warm.
  6. Add the vegetable stock, increase the heat to medium, and reduce the sauce; a touch reinforcing the flavors.
  7. Finish the sauce with chopped parsley.

How to make Crispy Oyster Mushrooms
