Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Slice them evenly into thick slices, or leave whole if they are small.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and just starts to sizzle.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes (if using). Cook for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices, ensuring they release their aroma.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the spice mixture. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and begin to brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the soy sauce over the mushrooms and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms.

Step 7

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish, over toast, or as a topping for pasta or rice.
