Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Slice them evenly into thick slices, or leave whole if they are small.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and just starts to sizzle.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes (if using). Cook for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices, ensuring they release their aroma.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the spice mixture. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and begin to brown.
Sprinkle the soy sauce over the mushrooms and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.
Serve warm as a side dish, over toast, or as a topping for pasta or rice.
