Garlic mushrooms in Parmesan cheese is a simple and flavorful dish that makes for a delicious appetizer or side dish. Here’s a recipe for making this savory dish
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush. Slice them into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick. Set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown and become bitter.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the garlic-infused butter and oil. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and have released their moisture. Continue to stir occasionally.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the cooked mushrooms. Stir gently to combine, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy sauce that coats the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are well coated.
- Season: Taste the garlic mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Remember that Parmesan cheese can be salty, so adjust the salt accordingly.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the garlic mushrooms in Parmesan cheese to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
