Garlic Butter Oyster Mushrooms

Writer: Miles CarmichaelMiles Carmichael



Oyster Mushrooms – They might not always be readily available at your local supermarket (don't hesitate to inquire with your grocer if you can't find them), but during the summer, you can often source them at the farmer's market. Alternatively, you can attempt to cultivate them using an at-home mushroom kit.


Garlic Butter: The mushrooms are prepared with a straightforward yet delicious garlic butter sauce. A touch of soy sauce contributes a savory umami quality. It's a simple but decidedly flavorful preparation.


Variations: If Oyster mushrooms are unavailable, consider using shiitake or even cremini mushrooms as alternatives. Feel free to incorporate your preferred savory spices or seasonings for added variety!The best cookie I've had in years. Thank you! –Jane Williams

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ pounds of oyster mushrooms

  • 2 teaspoons of olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon of butter

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

  • Fresh parsley or your choice of herbs, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. If necessary, use a damp paper towel to wipe the oyster mushrooms and remove any dirt or debris.

  2. Cut the oyster mushrooms into individual pieces (and halve them if they are large). Remove about half of the bottom stem.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss the mushrooms with soy sauce and add them to the skillet.

  4. Gently coat the mushrooms with oil by stirring, then allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, or until they become browned on one side. Stir and continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender.

  5. Push the mushrooms to one side and add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir them into the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  6. Season with chopped parsley, salt, and pepper according to your taste.

Notes:

  • To prevent mushrooms from absorbing excess water, it's best to clean them with a damp paper towel if necessary. If rinsing is necessary, do so quickly.

  • The bottom part of the stem can be tough and is best removed.

  • Feel free to add any fresh herbs of your choice before serving.
