Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 100 g Watercress
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them evenly into thin pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Rinse the watercress thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim any thick stems if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms and watercress. Drizzle the mustard dressing over the ingredients and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for added freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light salad. Enjoy!
