Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary but leave the mushrooms whole.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their liquid and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to avoid burning the garlic.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Let the mushrooms absorb the flavors for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the mushrooms.

Step 8

Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish with a garnish of extra parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired.
