Garlic Mushrooms In Parmesan Cheese
Garlic Mushrooms in Parmesan Cheese
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra richness)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary and halve any large mushrooms.
- Cook the Mushrooms:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. If using, add the olive oil for extra richness.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
- Add the Garlic:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
- Add Parmesan and Parsley:
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and coats the mushrooms.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Transfer the garlic mushrooms to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish if desired.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of white wine to the mushrooms after they have browned but before adding the garlic. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly.
- These mushrooms pair wonderfully with grilled steak, chicken, or fish, and they can also be served over pasta or rice.
- To make this dish even more decadent, consider adding a splash of heavy cream along with the Parmesan cheese for a creamy sauce.
