Ingredients
- 400 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 150 grams Greek yoghurt (plain, full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Slice larger mushrooms in half and leave smaller ones whole for a mix of textures.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Increase the heat slightly and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Season them lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Step 6
Sprinkle the paprika and smoked paprika over the mushrooms and mix well to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Step 7
Remove the mushrooms from the heat and taste, adjusting the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Plate the warm mushrooms and top each serving with a generous dollop of Greek yoghurt.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a lemon wedge on the side, if desired, for a bright contrast.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
