Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Avoid washing them with water, as mushrooms can soak up moisture. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half; otherwise, leave them whole.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the garlic and olive oil.
Cook the mushrooms for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their natural juices and become golden brown.
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the mushrooms. Add a splash of lemon juice, if desired, for a bright, tangy flavor.
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread.
