Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 60 milliliters Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and slice them into thick, even pieces.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them well to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 6
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes if using. Cook the mushrooms for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become golden brown.
Step 7
Pour in the dry white wine and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and optional lemon juice for a bright finish.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread, as a side dish, or part of a tapas spread.
