Mushroom Preparation

Method

Mushroom Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth or paper towel to gently wipe off any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water as they can absorb moisture.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mushrooms

    After cleaning, slice the mushrooms into even, thin pieces to ensure uniform cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves. This will infuse the mushrooms with a rich, garlicky flavor.

  4. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

  6. 6

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the olive oil and garlic.

  7. 7

    Season the Mushrooms

    Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

  8. 8

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Cook the mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

  9. 9

    Add Lemon Juice

    Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Stir well to incorporate.

  10. 10

    Serve

    If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or topping for various meals.
