Sautéed Oyster Mushrooms with Garlic Butter
This classic dish highlights the natural umami of oyster mushrooms. Quick and simple, it's perfect as a standalone side or paired with pasta, risotto, or toast.
- 10 ounces oyster mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prep the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a soft towel to remove any debris. Trim the base and separate larger clusters into bite-sized pieces.
Sear the Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add Flavor: Remove mushrooms from the pan. Add butter, garlic, and parsley to the hot pan. Stir until fragrant and melted.
Serve: Pour the garlic butter over the mushrooms. Enjoy as a topping for toast, pasta, or alongside scrambled eggs.
