Ingredients

  • 2 cups mushrooms (cremini, button, or a mix, sliced)
  • 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
    • Clean and slice the mushrooms. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    • In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their liquid.
  3. Add Garlic and Season:
    • Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add Parmesan:
    • Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms. Stir to combine and let the residual heat melt the cheese slightly.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and, if desired, a small squeeze of lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Serve warm as a side dish or topping for meats or salads.
