How to cook mushrooms in oil
To cook the mushrooms:
- Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. Wipe them with a cloth or a damp paper towel. Avoid washing them, as mushrooms tend to absorb water. Once cleaned, proceed to the next step.
- Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms to the heated skillet and let them cook until they turn a golden brown color. If a significant amount of liquid is released from the mushrooms, continue cooking until it evaporates. (If you prefer to serve the mushrooms without the cream sauce, generously season them at this stage and serve.)
To make the sauce:
- Incorporate the garlic, oregano, and chili into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir to ensure the mushrooms are well coated, and allow them to cook for about a minute.
- Pour in the cream, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and then add the fresh parsley.
- Serve and enjoy your sautéed mushrooms with the flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2lbs) mushrooms
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- pinch of oregano
- pinch of chilli flakes
- 1 cup cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid washing them because mushrooms act like sponges and can absorb excess water.
After cleaning the mushrooms, melt the butter or add a splash of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and let them cook, stirring regularly, until they achieve a golden brown color. If the mushrooms release a significant amount of liquid, allow it to simmer until it evaporates.
Next, introduce the garlic, oregano, and chili into the pan, and cook for a minute. Then, pour in the cream, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
Cook the mixture for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the dish with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Finally, serve and savor your delicious sautéed mushrooms with the flavorful sauce.
