Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons optional paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean and finely chop the fresh mushrooms.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, leaving the mushrooms golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the cooked mushroom mixture to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cooled mushroom mixture and fresh parsley. Mix well to combine evenly.
Season the dip with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for added color.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve the Fresh Mushroom Dip with crackers, slices of baguette, or an assortment of fresh vegetables.
