Sauteed Mushrooms with Garlic
Whether you’re serving them as a stand-alone side dish or pairing them with roasted vegetables, grains, or pasta, these sautéed mushrooms will become a favourite in your kitchen. Read on to discover how to make the best sautéed mushrooms that are golden brown, tender, and bursting with flavour.
What Makes Sautéed Mushrooms Recipe Special?
Sautéed mushrooms are rich in flavour and texture, making them a favourite side dish for many. For some the meaty texture can be used as a meat substitute.
Their tender consistency and savoury taste pair wonderfully with various dishes like roasted vegetables, grain bowls, or salads. Mushrooms also soak up flavours like garlic and fresh thyme, making them incredibly versatile in the kitchen.
Best Way to Make Sauteed Mushrooms
The secret to making the best sautéed mushrooms is to cook them over medium-high heat and let them brown without overcrowding the skillet. This technique ensures they develop a golden brown colour and retain their tender texture. Using olive oil, vegan butter, or a combination of both adds richness to the flavour.
How to Clean Mushrooms Properly
Cleaning mushrooms the right way is essential to avoid soggy results. Instead of washing them under running water, use a damp paper towel to gently wipe off dirt. This method prevents the mushrooms from absorbing excess water, ensuring they brown nicely in the skillet.
Best Mushroom Variety
From button mushrooms to shiitake and baby bella mushrooms, different varieties bring unique flavours and textures. Cremini mushrooms are a popular choice for sautéing due to their tender texture and mild flavour. You can also experiment with shiitake mushrooms for a richer taste or white button mushrooms for a classic touch.
Make This Recipe Sing
Key ingredients for this mushroom recipe include minced garlic, marjoram, soy sauce for umami, and parsley for garnish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Each ingredient enhances the natural flavour of the mushrooms, creating a side dish that’s both simple and flavourful.
How to Avoid Soggy Mushrooms While Cooking
To prevent soggy mushrooms, ensure the skillet is hot before adding them. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this causes the mushrooms to steam instead of brown. Let the liquid released by the mushrooms evaporate fully before stirring.
Can You Add White Wine for Extra Flavour?
Adding white wine to the skillet after sautéing garlic is an excellent way to elevate the flavour of the mushrooms. The wine adds acidity and depth, complementing the richness of the olive oil and garlic.
How to Serve Sautéed Mushrooms
These sautéed mushrooms are perfect as a side dish or topping. Serve them over toast, pasta, or grains for a quick meal, or pair them with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a more elaborate dinner. Their versatility makes them an easy side dish for any occasion.
How to Reheat Sautéed Mushrooms Without Losing Flavour
To reheat sautéed mushrooms, use a skillet over medium heat to preserve their texture and flavour. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy. A splash of olive oil can help revive their tender texture.
