Fried Mushrooms

 

https://www.inspiredtaste.net/36274/how-to-cook-mushrooms/

8 ounces mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake or Portobello (2 ½ cups chopped)

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp sea salt or more to taste

1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 Tbsp butter, optional

1 garlic clove, minced, optional

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried, optional

1 Tbsp fresh grated lemon zest, optional

Juice of half a lemon, optional

Method :

Using a damp paper towel, brush off dirt from the mushrooms. Cut away and discard any hard stems. Chop into 1/4-inch slices or, if the mushrooms are larger, like portobello, cut into 1/4-inch cubes.

Heat the olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium heat.

Add the mushrooms and spread into one layer. Then cook, without moving, until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir then cook another 3 to 5 minutes or until mostly golden brown on all sides. Stir in the salt and pepper.

For lemon garlic mushrooms, stir in the butter, garlic, thyme, and lemon zest. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the butter absorbs into the mushrooms, about 2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in lemon juice.

Adam and Joanne's Tips

Try truffle or porcini salt: swap regular sea salt for truffle or porcini salt. This deepens the mushroom flavor and tastes incredible!
