Butter Garlic Mushroom

Buttery Garlic mushrooms that have amazing flavour with herbs and a spicy kick. It's a perfect mushroom dish to serve as an appetiser by itself or as a side dish for any meal. This mushroom recipe is gluten-free low carb and Keto approved.

We love these garlic mushrooms at breakfast as a side with different types of omelettes as a side with pasta or pasta salad or simply serve them over toast. These garlic mushrooms taste incredible anyways.

In the classic garlic mushroom recipe, mushrooms are cooked in just a lot of butter and garlic. I am sharing the original garlic butter mushrooms recipe with my flavour twist that adds extra flavour and a spicy kick. I have shared za'atar spiced mushrooms before you can try that recipe as well.

Ingredients 

• Mushrooms - button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms 
• Butter - preferably uses unsalted butter for the recipe because a lot of butter goes into the dish which might make it over salted. 
• Olive oil - this prevents the burning of butter and adds more flavour.
• Garlic - Freshly chopped garlic works best.
• Herbs- I have used dried oregano, thyme and fresh parsley. You can use rosemary, basil, cilantro, and sage. Fresh herbs add a lot of taste but in case fresh are not available go for dried herbs.
• Spicy Addition: Use chilli flakes, black pepper and finely chopped green chilli pepper. If you love spice and heat you can use both of these.
• Salt- to taste

How To cook

Heat the butter and oil in a large pan.

Once the butter-oil mixture starts bubbling add chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute.

Add rinsed and wiped mushrooms and sauté for a minute.

Now add onions and sauté the onion until softened 

Add thyme, green chilli, black pepper, and chilli flakes and cook the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes.

Season with salt and garnish with chopped green chilies and parsley. 

Serve them hot. 

Recipe Notes

By following these few tips you can make these sautéed mushrooms taste best.

The key to making the best-sautéed mushroom is to caramelise them perfectly. 

Aromatics play a great role in developing flavours that is why you add onions and herbs.

How to Caramelise Mushrooms

The main secret to caramelise mushrooms lies in first preparing the mushrooms before cooking and then how to cook them. 

How to Prepare mushrooms

Lightly rinse mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel.

If mushrooms are dirty or have debris you can use a soft brush to remove that before rinsing. 

Once you have prepared the mushroom, the next step is the combination of ingredients and flavours.

I always use a mix of butter and olive oil for the extra depth of flavour.

Always use a large pan. If you use a small pan and overcrowd your mushrooms they will release juice and simmer. That prevents caramelisation. 

Use medium to high heat and do not over stir and let them sit for the perfect caramelization.

Substitutions

The flavour in this dish comes from fresh herbs and garlic. If you do not have fresh herbs but have dried ones and want to use them go ahead. Just use half the quantity of what you would use of the fresh herbs. Because dried herbs have an intense flavour. 

How To Serve

These sautéed mushrooms taste great as a side to any protein dish. You can serve them as an appetiser or just add them to any mushroom recipe for the amazing flavour. I add them in stir-fries as omelette stuffing or sometimes in mushroom rice.
