Sautéed Mushroom Medley

Our friends @ River Valley Farmer’s Table always have an array of fresh mushrooms on hand. Perfect for pasta, soups, risotto or stir fry, we chose a mixture of fresh cremini, shiitake & oyster mushrooms for Marcella Hazan’s sautéed mushrooms recipe. On hand pantry ingredients-olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper make an easy, delicious & nutritious side dish. 6 servings

Easy Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh, firm mushrooms

  • ½ cup Villa Graziella Organic extra virgin olive oil + extra to taste

  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped (dry ok too)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons fresh garlic, finely chopped

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (Kosher fine too)

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

Simple Directions:

  1. Slice & discard woody end of the stems without detaching from the caps

  2. Rinse mushrooms rapidly in cool running water, soaking not necessary

  3. Pat dry with clean dish cloth or paper towel

  4. Cut lengthwise into ¼ inch thick slices keeping stems & caps attached

  5. Heat olive oil & garlic over medium high heat, in a pan large enough to hold mushrooms without over crowding

  6. Stir garlic until it turns light golden but not brown

  7. Add mushrooms, increase heat to high, stir gently to combine

  8. Once mushrooms absorb oil, add salt & pepper, reduce heat to low

  9. Toss mushrooms gently, they will lose their moisture quickly, increase heat to high again, reducing the juices while stirring frequently, about 4-5 minutes

  10. Season to taste with spices, drizzled oil, add parsley, stir, serve & enjoy!

Helpful Hints:

Compost or use mushroom ends for broth with other veggie scraps (carrots, celery & onion)

If not eating immediately, cool to room temperature enjoy as a tasty antipasto with toasted or grilled bread
