Vinegar

Oil

Salt and Pepper

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently wipe the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under water to prevent them from absorbing too much moisture.

  2. 2

    Slice the Garlic

    Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced garlic and Aleppo pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.

  2. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the cleaned and sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them with the olive oil, garlic, and Aleppo pepper mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

  3. 5

    Add Sherry Vinegar

    Pour the sherry vinegar over the sautéed mushrooms. Stir well and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce slightly.

  4. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the mushroom ajillo with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve warm as a tapa or side dish.
