Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter Choose depending on your flavor preference.
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped Add more if you love garlic flavor.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or unsalted butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Carefully add the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Make sure not to overcrowd them; if necessary, sauté in batches.
  3. Allow the mushrooms to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown color.
  4. After mushrooms have browned nicely, toss in the chopped garlic and stir. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  5. Season the sautéed mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally add chopped parsley for freshness.
  6. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Store sautéed mushrooms in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat. Can be frozen for up to a month; cool completely before freezing.
