Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Avoid washing them with water, as mushrooms can soak up moisture. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half; otherwise, leave them whole.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the garlic and olive oil.
Step 6
Cook the mushrooms for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their natural juices and become golden brown.
Step 7
Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the mushrooms. Add a splash of lemon juice, if desired, for a bright, tangy flavor.
Step 9
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread.
