A splash of dry white wine elevates the dish, creating a luscious sauce that begs to be mopped up with crusty bread. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, this quick and easy recipe comes together in just 25 minutes, making it perfect for an appetizer, light meal, or a crowd-pleasing addition to your tapas spread. With its simple ingredients and robust aroma, these garlic mushrooms bring authentic Spanish cuisine straight to your table.
Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt or wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed and cut larger mushrooms in half, leaving small ones whole.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set them aside separately.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic-infused oil. Spread them out in a single layer and let them cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the mushrooms with sea salt and black pepper, then pour in the dry white wine. Stir well and let the wine reduce for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.
Once the mushrooms are tender and coated in a light sauce, remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms and give them a final toss.
Serve the Champiñones Al Ajillo warm with crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious garlic sauce. Enjoy!
