Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Rinse the Black Pearl and Oyster mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, setting them aside for later.

  3. 3

    Slice Olives

    Slice the black olives in half and set them aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Arugula

    Wash the arugula leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Black Pearl and Oyster mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Add the chopped garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Olives and Peppers

    Stir in the sliced black olives and house-pickled hot peppers. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. 8

    Finish with Arugula

    Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the arugula, allowing it to wilt slightly from the residual heat.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the sautéed mushroom mixture to a serving platter. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil if desired and serve warm.
