Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 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)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
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.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them well to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
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.
Pour in the dry white wine and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and optional lemon juice for a bright finish.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread, as a side dish, or part of a tapas spread.
