Three Magic Words: Garlic Oyster Mushrooms

These oyster mushrooms cooked in garlic butter are a perfect side dish. They’re similar to our dry cooked mushrooms, and once you’ve prepared mushrooms using this technique, you’ll find yourself making them to accompany everything from our Italian Style Pot Roast to our Classic Pot Roast. Our super secret tip is to scoop them on top of classic mashed potatoes. Try all our best mushroom recipes, and keep on shroomin!

Ingredients For Sauteed Mushrooms With Garlic

• Oyster mushrooms, cleaned, ends trimmed, and quartered

• Kosher salt

• Extra-virgin olive oil

• Salted butter

• Garlic cloves

• Parsley

How To Make Garlic Butter Mushrooms

1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook, working in batches if necessary, until mushrooms begin to just brown, about 7 minutes.

2. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and cook, undisturbed, until mushrooms start releasing their moisture, about 5 minutes. Resist the urge to stir them! Add the olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until mushrooms are tender and edges are golden brown, about 8 minutes more.

3. Add the butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add the garlic and cook (now you can stir) until garlic is fragrant and mushrooms are coated, 2-3 minutes.

4. Sprinkle mushrooms with parsley and serve.

How to Store Leftovers + Tips

• The best way to clean dirt off of mushrooms is with a dry paper towel or with a mushroom brush.

• Start with a dry pan. It seems counterintuitive, because we always start cooking with oil or butter. When you start with a dry pan, mushrooms will release their moisture, and then you can add flavor with butter and other additions.

• Is it better to cook mushrooms in butter or oil? We start with olive oil, because it has a higher smoke point than butter. We add the butter towards the end of the cooking time, as a finishing touch to coat the mushrooms.
