Description
An easy, flavorful side dish made with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic, butter, and a splash of lemon. Perfect for any dinner table.
Ingredients
16 ounces small button mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
Zest from 1 medium lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Kosher salt, to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Brush mushrooms clean. Trim stem ends if dry. Leave whole or halve if large.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then mushrooms. Cook until browned, 3–5 minutes.
3. Add 2 tablespoons butter, then onions and garlic. Sauté until soft and lightly caramelized, 3–5 minutes.
4. Add stock, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
5. Stir in remaining butter and parsley. Cook 1 minute more.
6. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Notes
Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute plant-based butter and use vegetable stock.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow mushrooms to brown properly.
