Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary, but leave the mushrooms whole.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Ensure you stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the mushrooms evenly with the spices.
Cook the mushrooms for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and become tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and coat the mushrooms.
Transfer the glazed mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
