Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Prepare Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms
Alright, let’s get cooking! Making garlic parmesan mushrooms is super straightforward and oh-so-satisfying. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have an irresistible dish ready to serve in no time. Grab your skillet, and let’s dive in!
Step 1 – Clean and Slice the Mushrooms
First things first, you want to clean your mushrooms. Just give them a quick rinse under cool water and pat them dry. Then, slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate. Trust me, this step is key to achieving that perfect tender texture!
Step 2 – Heat Olive Oil
Now, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. This temperature is just right for sautéing, allowing the mushrooms to cook evenly without burning or getting too oily. You’ll be amazed at how quickly the kitchen fills with a delicious aroma!
Step 3 – Sauté Garlic
Once the oil is hot, toss in your minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it, though! You don’t want the garlic to burn, as that can turn your dish bitter. Just until it’s fragrant and lightly golden is perfect!
Step 4 – Add Mushrooms
Next, add those sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender and have released their moisture. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden brown and have shrunk a bit. Yum!
Step 5 – Add Parmesan Cheese
Now for the magic touch! Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the cooked mushrooms. As it melts, it adds a rich, savory flavor that takes this dish to the next level. Seriously, you’re going to love how it binds everything together!
Step 6 – Final Seasoning
To finish off, stir in your chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. These ingredients really complement the mushrooms and bring a fresh pop of flavor! Give it a gentle toss to combine, and let those flavors mingle for a moment.
Step 7 – Serving
Serve these garlic parmesan mushrooms warm, and don’t be shy about piling them high on a plate! They’re perfect as a side dish or even as a delicious appetizer. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
