Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Zest of a lemon
- 1 teaspoon Zest of an orange
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim any rough ends from the stems. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to release their moisture and become tender.
While the mushrooms cook, prepare the citrus marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes (if using), and the lemon and orange zest.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, transfer them to a heatproof bowl and pour the citrus marinade over the warm mushrooms. Toss the mushrooms gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Let the mushrooms marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors. Stir occasionally.
Before serving, sprinkle the marinated mushrooms with fresh chopped parsley for garnish. Serve as a light appetizer, side dish, or topping for salads or toast.
