Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh oyster mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce optional for extra flavor
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
Prepare the mushrooms:
- Gently wipe the oyster mushrooms with a damp cloth or brush off any dirt. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces if needed.
Sauté the garlic:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Cook the mushrooms:
- Add the oyster mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Season:
- Stir in the soy sauce (if using), thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Garnish and serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish or over pasta, rice, or grains.
Notes
- Cooking tip: Oyster mushrooms cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender and lightly golden, not mushy.
- Add-ins: For extra flavor, try adding a splash of white wine, balsamic vinegar, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Storage: Leftover cooked oyster mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to preserve their texture.
- Vegan option: Use olive oil instead of butter for a vegan-friendly version.
