Italian Sauteed Mushrooms


  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

Tender, golden-edged cremini mushrooms sautéed with garlic, parsley, and extra virgin olive oil for a rustic Italian side that’s ready in minutes and bursting with savory umami.


Ingredients

  • Cremini mushrooms, sliced: 500 g
  • Extra virgin olive oil: 3 tbsp
  • Garlic, thinly sliced: 3 cloves
  • Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tbsp
  • Fine salt: 1 tsp
  • Freshly ground black pepper: 1/2 tsp
  • Red pepper flakes (optional): 1/4 tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set a large skillet over medium high heat and warm it for 1 minute.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add olive oil and sliced garlic, cook 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant, keeping the garlic pale.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Make sure the skillet is hot so the mushrooms sear, not steam.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Add mushrooms in a single layer without overcrowding.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Let mushrooms cook undisturbed 2 to 3 minutes, then stir occasionally until browned and tender, about 8 minutes total.
  6. Finishing Touches: Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using, then stir in parsley.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a warm dish and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tip: Use a wide skillet to promote browning.
  • Tip: Do not salt early, wait until mushrooms are nearly done to avoid excess moisture.
  • Tip: Wipe mushrooms clean instead of rinsing to prevent sogginess.
  • Serving Idea: Spoon over toasted bread or toss with pasta.
