It plays nicely with American, Indian, French, and Italian flavors, and can be used to make a tasty breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or side. This recipe is also fairly easy and gets done in under 30 minutes (including the prep work). You also don’t need many ingredients to make this stunning dish. With just mushrooms, garlic, paprika and any fresh or dried herbs, you can customize these sautéed mushrooms recipe to your liking. The mushrooms will take on the flavors of any ingredients you use, making them perfectly adaptable to anything you have on hand.
How to Make Sautéed Mushrooms
Prep Mushrooms
- Clean 500 grams of button mushrooms by quickly rinsing them or, preferably, wiping them with a paper towel. Slice them and set aside.
Sauté Garlic
- Heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, for a few seconds. Do not brown garlic, as this may result in a bitter flavor.
Add Mushrooms & Spices
- Add the sliced mushrooms and stir to mix with the oil and garlic.
- Add ½ teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika and salt as required.
Add Wine
- Add 1 tablespoon of red or white wine. TIP: You can also use sherry, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.
- Mix very well.
Sauté Mushrooms
- On medium heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms stirring often. Initially you will see mushrooms releasing water.
- Gradually the water will reduce as you will see in the photo below.
- Continue to sauté until all water dries up and the mushrooms look glossy. When the water dries up, reduce heat to a low. TIP: Do not rush this process. You want the mushrooms to be fully cooked, or you might risk some indigestion.
Add Herbs
- Add 1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley to taste.
- Mix and sauté for a minute. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
Serve
- Serve sautéed mushrooms garnished with additional parsley, and, if desired, the cheese of your choice.
Expert Tips
Ways to Use Sautéed Mushrooms
This one simple recipe has so many applications that it’s hard to list them all. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
Tartine: make a lovely, light brunch, lunch or dinner by frying 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: use as a topping for your favorite sandwiches or Veggie Burger to add more heft and “meatiness,” or add to a grilled Cheese Sandwich 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 sautéed mushrooms to your favorite veggie or tofu stir fry and serve over Stir Fried Veg Noodles or Fried Rice.
As you can see, the options are nearly endless. I hope you make a big batch and experiment!
Variations
With Onions: While garlic is one of the aromatic used here, but if you prefer include ½ cup of thinly sliced onions in the recipe. Sauté onions with the garlic until they become golden and caramelize before adding the mushrooms. I make this easy variation of sautéed mushrooms with onions on occasions. Herbs: Feel free to include fresh herbs that are easily available to you. Mushrooms pair well with most herbs. Swap with dried herbs if you do not have fresh herbs. Use this proportion of 1 tablespoon fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon dried herbs. Paprika: I make sautéed mushrooms recipe with both smoked paprika and the regular sweet paprika. For a more spicier taste, increase the paprika a bit. You can easily swap paprika with cayenne or red chili powder (not the Mexican red chili powder but the Indian red chili powder).
