Oyster mushrooms, garlic, and green onions saute - Paleo, Gluten Free recipe.
I've discovered oyster mushrooms several years ago and have been regularly cooking with them since then. Their flavor and texture are amazing. They are versatile and filling: I could eat 2 servings of this recipe for dinner and not go hungry. Oyster mushrooms sauteed with garlic and green onions are also a great side dish for grilled steak, or they can be mixed with pasta or rice, or cooked as part of rice risotto.
I love this recipe because it uses fresh, good-for-you ingredients, such as vegetables, and garlic (which has antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-microbial properties). Here is a great article on the benefits of garlic. These sauteed oyster mushrooms are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, paleo-friendly.
Oyster mushrooms, garlic, and green onions saute (Paleo, Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound oyster mushrooms
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 4 green onions finely chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat until hot but not smoking. Immediately add mushrooms and garlic, and saute for 2-3 minutes, regularly stirring with spatula. After 2-3 minutes of sauteing, reduce heat a bit and sprinkle the mushrooms with a little bit of salt, stir to mix, cover with the lid and continue to cook the mushrooms for another 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they soften and release some juices. Having the lid on will allow mushrooms generate some moisture and not get burned. Mushrooms should be cooked for a total of 7-10 minutes.
- If there is too much liquid in the pan, cook for 1-2 more minutes uncovered, on medium heat, to let extra moisture evaporate.
- When mushrooms are completely cooked, add half of chopped green onions to the mushrooms, mix and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- When serving, top each serving with the remaining chopped green onions.

Hikes and found some wild oyster mushrooms. I added soy sauce, liquid smoke, and maple syrup and they were absolutely delicious!
Matt, you additions sound delicious!
Now you're talkin' I'm retired living 4 months out of the year on 15 acres of New Hampshire forest near the white mountains.. Our land is filled with maple birch hemlock & oak trees plus bear moose bobcats, and the list goes on. When we're here I always wanted to use my undergrad bio degree for something useful...foraging off the land! So last year my girlfriend and I set up a maple syrup evaporator operation and created 3.5 delicious gallons last March. Yesterday I was foraging and found...you guessed it......a twenty foot hardwood log with enough oysters growing on it that I was able to harvest 3 pounds. Unfortunately we ate all the oysters but the next batch I find I will try your smoked maple oyster recipe FOR SURE
I'm not rating your recipe YET but it sounds spectacular.
This recipe was absolutely delicious! I made it and served it over quinoa. Since I became vegan I get excited to try new recipes with fruits and vegetables that I have never tried. Thank you so much
You're very welcome! I am glad you liked this simple recipe.
I think I'll make these to add to a ramen bowl!
Great idea! Enjoy! 🙂
I loved the simplicity and flavors of this dish. Used it as a savory side dish to a dinner salad in lieu of rolls or bread. It was very yum and satisfying.
So glad you enjoyed it! I used to cook this dish a lot in the past, and I really enjoyed it!
How do you grow mushrooms!???
Back to Roots makes a mushroom mini farm in a box. Mushrooms in 10 days. Works good!
I grow oyster mushrooms at home and these are oyster mushrooms, just sliced up. They are super delicious and can be added to just about anything.
These do not look like oyster mushrooms at all. They look like a trumpet type mushroom. I'm sure the dish is still excellent, but just wanted to point that out.
That's what the packaging said: oyster mushrooms. 🙂
Their king oyster mushrooms... they look totally different from the regular oyster mushrooms.
so simple yet such a delicacy. i like!
I made this dish it was delicious. I added spinach and an asian sauce that I made. I'm craving it again already.
Oyster mushrooms are wonderful! So why don't I use them more often? Definitely should make this -- thanks so much.
Yum yum yum! I love oyster mushrooms but really don't use them enough! And with the green onions and garlic - what a simple but perfect dish!.
Thank you! Oyster mushrooms are really very delicious! Garlic and some green onions makes them even better!
Yum yum yum! I love oyster mushrooms but really don't use them enough! And with the green onions and garlic - what a simple but perfect dish!
These mushrooms look delicious! I love sauteed mushroom and the garlic makes them even more tasty. I could eat this as a meal all by themselves.
I don't cook with oyster mushrooms nearly enough. This dish looks fabulous!
Wow! These oysters look so meaty! Beautiful dish!
