Servings: 6

INGREDIENTS

1 lb baby bella mushrooms
2 Tbsp. salted butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil - – or extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce - can sub soy sauce
2 garlic cloves - chopped
½ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. kosher salt - more to taste
⅛ tsp. black pepper
2 tablespoon red wine
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley

STEPS

1) This recipe goes fast. I recommend measuring and chopping the ingredients first, then read through the recipe and then start.

Also for perfectly golden brown sauteed mushrooms it is important that you use a large enough pan so that the mushrooms brown and sauté (12 inch skillet). If the pan is too small the mushrooms will steam and look grey.

It is also crucial that the pan is properly PREHEATED, otherwise the mushrooms will absorb the oil and become soggy.

2) Brush mushrooms clean and cut them in half, if you have some really large ones you can quarter them, or if you have tiny ones leave them whole.

3) Pre-heat the pan WITHOUT any oil/butter over high heat for about 1-2 minutes

Once the pan is very hot, add the olive oil and butter and swirl while the butter melts.

4) As soon as the butter has melted add the sliced mushrooms. Toss the mushrooms in the butter and oil until coated, then allow to sauté, undisturbed, for 2 minutes so that they can start to release their liquid and brown.

5) Then stir and continue to sauté another 2 minutes.

Once the liquid has almost entirely evaporated lower the heat to medium-low.

6) Then add in the onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Continue to sautéing for 2 minutes while tossing constantly so that the garlic does not burn. If the pan is really dry you can add a dash of oil.

7) Finally add 2 tablespoon red wine and deglaze the pan. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes while tossing constantly.

8) Remove from the heat. Taste a mushroom for additional seasoning.

9) Garnish with chopped parsley, let cool for a few minutes and then serve.
