Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh oyster mushrooms, cleaned and separated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Gently clean the oyster mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim any tough stem ends to ensure they cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Heat Skillet and Add Fats: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and become foamy as it combines with the oil.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the oyster mushrooms in a single layer to the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes to develop a golden brown crust.
- Continue Cooking: Stir the mushrooms and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until they become tender and evenly golden brown.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
- Finish with Lemon and Parsley: Drizzle the mushrooms with fresh lemon juice and toss well to coat. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure mushrooms brown properly rather than steam.
- For extra richness, add a splash of white wine before adding garlic and let it reduce slightly.
- This dish can be served as a side, over toasted bread, or tossed with pasta for a hearty meal.
