Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Gently wipe the baby bella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary for even cooking.
- Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Add Sauces and Seasoning: Drizzle Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce over the mushrooms, then sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly and let them absorb the flavors for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color and fresh taste. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; pre-minced garlic can be used in a pinch but may be less vibrant.
- Ensure mushrooms are dry before sautéing to achieve proper browning instead of steaming.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use vegan Worcestershire sauce.
- Low-sodium soy sauce can be used to reduce salt content without sacrificing flavor.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or can be enjoyed as a hearty side for vegetarian meals.
