Prep the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into thick pieces. This helps them cook evenly and absorb the flavors better.
Cook the mushrooms: Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Add the garlic: Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the lemon: Stir in the lemon zest and juice. The lemon will add a burst of freshness that brightens up the earthy mushrooms.
Season and garnish: Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Give everything a good toss to make sure the mushrooms are coated with the lemony goodness. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve: These lemon mushrooms can be served as a side dish, tossed over pasta, or even served on toast for a simple but flavorful meal.
Tips:
You can use a mix of mushrooms for extra flavor (e.g., shiitake, oyster, or portobello).
For a creamier version, add a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream at the end.
Enjoy these tangy, savory mushrooms! 🍄🍋
