Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic or or minced garlic – 3 to 4 medium sized garlic cloves
  • 500 grams button mushrooms
  • ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper or ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red wine or dry white wine or sherry
  • salt as required
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley or herbs of choice

Garnish

  • chopped parsley (few) or herbs of choice

Instructions
 

  • Clean the white button mushrooms by quickly rinsing them or, preferably, wiping them with a moist kitchen cotton napkin or paper towel. Slice them and set aside.
  • Heat extra virgin olive oil over low heat in a skillet or frying pan. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, for a few seconds. Do not brown garlic, as this may result in a bitter flavor.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and mix them with the oil and garlic.
  • Add freshly crushed black pepper, paprika and salt as required. Add red or white wine. Mix very well. 
  • On medium heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms stirring often. Initially you will see the mushrooms releasing lot of water.
  • Gradually the water will reduce. Continue to sauté until all water dries up and the mushrooms look glossy. When the water dries up, reduce heat to a low.
  • Do not rush the sautéing process. You want the mushrooms to be fully cooked, or you might risk some indigestion.
  • Add 1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley to taste. Mix and sauté for a minute. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
  • Serve garnished with additional parsley or top with grated cheese of choice.

Serving Suggestions

  • Make a Tartine: For a lovely, light brunch, lunch or dinner fry a piece of your favorite bread in olive oil or butter. Top with sautéed mushrooms and any number of other toppings like cheese, sautéed onions, or fresh herbs. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Sandwiches: Include these meaty sauteed mushrooms as a topping in your sandwiches or veggie burger or add to your wraps, sliders or quesadilla.
  • Sides: Serve with dal (lentils) or Khichdi for an Indian inspired meal, or rice, pasta or mashed potatoes for a quasi-stroganoff feeling meal.
  • As a Filling: Use as a filling in a vegan omelette or add to your favorite quiche or your breakfast scramble.
  • Stir Fry: Add to your favorite veggie or tofu stir fry and serve over rice or noodles.

Storage And Leftovers

  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. While reheating, sauté them in a skillet or pan until warm.
