Mushroom Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently wipe the cultivated mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mushrooms

    After cleaning, slice the mushrooms into thick pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them retain their structure during cooking.

  3. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and olive oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

  6. 6

    Season the Mushrooms

    Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mushrooms. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed mushrooms. Toss to combine and enhance the flavors.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the cultivated mushrooms to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish or topping for your favorite protein or grain.
