Preparation For Sauteed Garlic Mushroom


No matter how simple a dish is, it can be messed up. That’s why I have divided my recipe into different steps so that you can recreate the same magic in your home as well.


Step One

To prepare sauteed garlic mushroom, bring 1 lb white button mushroom. Then take a large bowl and clean the mushrooms under running water. When you keep the mushrooms under running water, all the first is removed.

After washing, take a paper towel to remove excess water. Then dice the mushrooms in equal shape so all the pieces can be cooked in equal time.

After dicing the mushroom, you must take care of the garlic. You must take two garlic cloves, peel them, and mince. Keep the diced mushroom and minced garlic in a separate bowl.

Step Two

Take a nonstick pan and place it over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil to the pan and let them warm. Then add mushrooms.

Step Three

Once the mushrooms are nicely sauteing, add minced garlic to the pan. Season the mushroom with salt, dry thyme, and pepper. Then cook the mushroom for another 10-15 minutes to combine everything.

Step Four

Transfer the sauteed garlic mushroom from the pan to the plate and serve it with any of your favorite dishes.

    DI you dip the mushrooms in flour before you sauté or after sautéing?

    I like crispy mushrooms but wasn’t clear on when you dip them in the flour to fry? If they were just not sautéed first HOW to get the flour stick to the mushrooms? when to season?
