Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 6 units Garlic cloves
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 60 ml Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
2. Finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh parsley. Set aside.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it's fragrant but not browned.
5. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir well to coat them with the garlic-infused oil.
6. Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes, if using.
7. Continue to cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
8. Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the sauce to slightly thicken.
9. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley.
10. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or as a side dish to your favorite meal.
