Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Garlic Mushrooms — perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for steak, pasta, or toast. 🍄🧄
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 10–12 oz (300–350 g) mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned and sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tsp fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
- Optional: a splash of white wine or lemon juice
🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Mushrooms
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add mushrooms in a single layer (don’t overcrowd the pan).
- Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
2. Add Garlic and Seasoning
- Add minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
- Optional: add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
3. Serve
- Serve hot as a side, on toast, in pasta, or over grilled meats.
🍽️ Tips
- Don’t wash mushrooms under running water; wipe with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess.
- High heat is key for caramelizing mushrooms without making them watery.
- You can add a dollop of cream or Parmesan for a richer version.
I can also give a garlic butter mushroom version that’s extra indulgent and perfect for steak night. Do you want that?
