Ingredients
- 500 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Clean the cremini mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms in half if they are large.
Step 2
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The garlic should become fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Add the cleaned and prepared mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the olive oil and garlic.
Step 5
Cook the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms should release their moisture and become golden brown.
Step 6
Stir in the lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well to combine and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a Mediterranean-style meal.
