Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by cleaning and slicing the fresh mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the scallion. Have all your ingredients ready before you start cooking to ensure a smooth process. -
Heat the Pan:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. This usually takes about a minute. -
Sauté the Aromatics:
Add the minced garlic and chopped scallion to the hot olive oil. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and the scallion starts to soften. Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning. -
Cook the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them out evenly to ensure they cook properly. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will release their moisture and begin to brown, which adds to their flavor. -
Season and Finish:
Season the mushrooms generously with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add the tablespoon of butter at this stage for an extra layer of richness. Stir well to combine, allowing the butter to melt and coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and well-seasoned. -
Serve:
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a serving dish. These mushrooms make an excellent side dish or can be used as a delectable topping for steak, roast pork, hamburgers, or even a simple salad. Enjoy the burst of flavor in every bite!
