Best Sautéed Mushrooms
- Mushrooms are a mild-flavored vegetable (well really fungi), that is a good source of Vitamin B. They are gentle, soft and have a high liquid content. They are easy to make when a quick side dish is needed for dinner.
- Mushrooms have an almost spongy texture, and will absorb whatever flavoring they are cooked with. So it doesn’t take much to flavor these tasty morsels. In the case of this recipe, just a little soy sauce and thyme with its earthy and slightly lemony flavoring are perfect companions.
Ingredients and Variations
MUSHROOMS – Generally the most common mushrooms are the white button mushrooms sold at the grocery store. However, there are also the brown cremini mushrooms, the large portobello (just slice them into pieces), or the shitake. These are all great options for this recipe.
VARIATIONS – Sautéed mushrooms also go great with some extra seasonings. Sauté some fresh crushed garlic, onions, add a dash of wine or replace the olive oil with some butter. Or sauté them with some chopped spinach or bell pepper for more robust side.
