Sautéed Mushrooms with Spices

Trim and clean the mushrooms; if they are large, cut them in half or into quarters. Cook in boiling water fro about 10 minutes; drain thoroughly. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and sweat it in a little olive oil until very soft. Add the mushrooms; raise the heat to high and sauté for a minute. Season with salt and the spices, lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for about 15 minutes. From time to time, check on the mushrooms and give them a stir. Serve when golden brown.
