Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic
- 500 grams Cremini or white button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Begin by carefully cleaning the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems slightly, or remove them if they're tough.
Slice the mushrooms into generous, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the garlic oil.
Cook the mushrooms for approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
While the mushrooms are cooking, finely chop the parsley.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and turn off the heat.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the mushrooms and give a final toss to incorporate before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use as a topping for your favorite whole grains or salads for a heart-healthy boost.
