- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 ounces mushrooms thinly sliced

- Melt 4 Tb butter in a large skillet over medium-heat heat. When almost melted, add onions, garlic, shallot, salt, all 3 peppers, basil, thyme, and oregano. Stir well.

Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the pan while continuously shaking the pan back and forth over the heat. Don't stir because it will break up the sauce.
