#2 Sauteed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz cremini or white button mushrooms
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tbsp avocado oil to toss mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil for cooking
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • minced parsley for garnish

Directions:

  • Rinse whole mushrooms under cold water quickly and pat them dry with a paper towel right away.
  • Cut mushrooms into half, or quarter if they are very large, and add them to a mixing bowl.
  • Toss mushrooms in 1/2 tbsp. of oil to coat them and then add pressed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat mushrooms evenly.
  • Preheat the skillet first, over medium-high heat.
  • Add a tablespoon on oil and spread it around. Add mushrooms in an even layer and let them sauté, undisturbed, for a few minutes to get a nice sear on them.
  • Add butter and let it melt. Once butter is melted, mix mushrooms and let them sauté again, undisturbed. Keep mixing once in a while, but not too often, letting mushrooms get a sear each time. Depending on the size, it will take 7-10 minutes to cook mushrooms.
  • Once mushrooms are done, take them out and serve. Garnish it with some parsley if you'd like.
