How to Make Sautéed Mushrooms
Prep Mushrooms
1. Clean 500 grams of button mushrooms by quickly rinsing them or, preferably, wiping them with a paper towel. Slice them and set aside.
Sauté Garlic
2. Heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, for a few seconds. Do not brown garlic, as this may result in a bitter flavor.
Add Mushrooms & Spices
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir to mix with the oil and garlic.
4. Add ½ teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika and salt as required.
Add Wine
5. Add 1 tablespoon of red or white wine.
TIP: You can also use sherry, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.
6. Mix very well.
Sauté Mushrooms
7. On medium heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms stirring often. Initially you will see mushrooms releasing water.
8. Gradually the water will reduce as you will see in the photo below.
9. Continue to sauté until all water dries up and the mushrooms look glossy. When the water dries up, reduce heat to a low.
TIP: Do not rush this process. You want the mushrooms to be fully cooked, or you might risk some indigestion.
Add Herbs
10. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley to taste.
11. Mix and sauté for a minute. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
Serve
12. Serve sautéed mushrooms garnished with additional parsley, and, if desired, the cheese of your choice.
