Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams King oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Slice the king oyster mushrooms into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Carefully score each round with a criss-cross pattern on both sides to help them absorb the flavors.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated mushrooms in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan and cook them in batches if necessary.
Cook the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have a slightly crisp edge.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
