Garlic Mushrooms

Garlic Mushrooms are easy to make at home with a delicious buttery flavor. Ready in 10 minutes, and you can have these sauteed mushrooms on their own, or as a side dish, over pasta or rice, level for breakfast on toast. Only simple and cheap ingredients are needed to make this recipe.

Why you know these pan fried mushrooms are seriously the best

Most recipes for Garlic Mushrooms use white wine to add a touch of tangy flavor. I get that cooking with alcohol is not for everyone, so instead I use a mix of water and white vinegar. Yes, I was so amazed I combine these two ingredients and voila the result was perfect.

Herbs: thyme and parsley add an amazing flavor to the buttery sauce as you can see in my step by step pictures.

Garlic: Yup I use a good amount to make these flavorful and delicious. I pressed my garlic which makes the flavor even better instead of chopping.

Vegan butter and olive oil: both add an amazing flavor, buttery, rich, luxurious. You can use just olive oil, but the taste will be different and not as great.

How to make Garlic Mushrooms

First clean your mushrooms gently with a towel or use a brush. Note that a quick rinse is also ok, but do not soak them.

In a pan, heat olive oil and vegan butter. When hot, add the mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and fry for about 5 minutes. 

Press the garlic over the mushrooms, add vinegar and water. Let simmer on medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, usually about 4 minutes. 

Mix in the herbs and cook for another minute, then serve.
