For something so simple, these sauteed mushrooms make one amazing side dish. This easy recipe really makes the flavour of the mushrooms shine.

Flavoured with butter, garlic and fresh parsley, enjoy these mushrooms as a side dish, on a slice of fresh crusty bread or spooned on top of meat (they taste especially good on a beef steak).

What you need:

To make these easy garlic and parsley pan fried mushrooms, you will need the following ingredients:

• Mushrooms – Sliced button mushrooms were used, but this recipe will work just as well with your favourite variety of mushroom.
• Olive oil – For frying the mushrooms.
• Butter – Salted butter was used, but unsalted can be used if preferred.
• Parsley – Fresh parsley will give these mushrooms a far better flavour than dried, however dried can be used.
• Garlic – Fresh or jarred garlic both work fine.
• Salt and pepper

Step by step instructions

Step 1. Fry the mushrooms

Fry the mushrooms in a frying pan over a medium high heat. The mushrooms will release plenty of liquid, but keep cooking until all of the liquid has evaporated. Those beautifully caramelised mushrooms are worth the wait.

Step 2. Flavour with garlic, butter and parsley

Add the garlic, butter and parsley to the mushrooms and cook until the butter has melted and the garlic is fragrant. Season to taste.

Storage

Store any leftover sauteed mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat using the microwave or in a frying pan.

These mushrooms are not suitable for freezing.
