Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil for a vegan or dairy-free option
  • 1 lb shiitake mushrooms rinsed and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped as garnish

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Saute, stirring constantly, for 6-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are fully softened and start caramelizing.
  • Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
  • Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more if necessary. Transfer onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Yields: This recipe makes about 2 to 2 1/2 cups (packed) of cooked shiitake mushrooms, which is ideal for serving 4 as a side dish. The nutritional values below are per serving.
  • Cast iron or stainless steel skillet for the best results: When making this recipe, I recommend using a large pan that can retain the heat, such as a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet. I also suggest using a large skillet (10-12 inches) so that you'll have enough room to saute mushrooms without overcrowding the skillet.

  • Store: Let the leftovers come to room temperature and then transfer them to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to four days.
