Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms in half if they are large.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The garlic should become fragrant but not browned.
Add the cleaned and prepared mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the olive oil and garlic.
Cook the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms should release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well to combine and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms.
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a Mediterranean-style meal.
