🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 60 milliliters Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and slice them into thick, even pieces.

2. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

4. Add the minced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them well to coat in the garlic-infused oil.

6. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes if using. Cook the mushrooms for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become golden brown.

7. Pour in the dry white wine and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.

8. Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and optional lemon juice for a bright finish.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread, as a side dish, or part of a tapas spread.
