    Mushroom Saute with chopped green onions

    The recipe uses 12 oz of button mushrooms and produces modest 4 servings that will go great with any grilled meat, especially steak! Or, you can eat it as-is as a vegetarian dish!   After you have sauteed the mushrooms with garlic in olive oil, they become very juicy, delicious, with a meaty flavor and texture.

    Mushrooms often are at their best when prepared in the most basic way like this simple mushroom and garlic saute. This recipe is also great for paleo and gluten-free lifestyle, with just a few simple and natural ingredients producing a very flavorful and filling meal!

    How to saute mushrooms

    First, thinly slice button mushrooms (12 oz). You can also use cremini mushrooms, shiitake, or thinly sliced portobellos.

    Let' start the sautéing process:

    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
    • Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and saute for about 3 minutes, regularly stirring with spatula.
    • Sprinkle the mushrooms with a little bit of salt, cover with the lid and continue cooking the mushrooms for another 2 minutes, occasionally stirring. Having the lid on will allow mushrooms release some moisture and not get burned.
    • Remove the lid after the mushrooms have released their moisture and saute for about 5 minutes, uncovered, on medium-high heat, stirring with spatula.
    • Total cooking time from the beginning to end should be under 15 minutes.
