Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups button mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut larger tomatoes in half, but leave smaller ones whole for visual variety.
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them evenly to ensure even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherry tomatoes soften and begin to burst, creating a light sauce that coats the mushrooms.
Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for pasta, rice, or grilled protein.
