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.

You are very welcome! So glad you enjoyed this recipe! 🙂
Found some wild oyster mushrooms while hunting over the weekend.
Followed your recipe exactly as written and they turned out absolutely delicious!! Thanks!!
Thank you, Ed, for your comment! So glad you found my recipe useful!
I added leftover (cooked) chicken thighs, a bowl of brown rice and a splash of hoisin sauce which created a fantastic quick stir fry! Delicious and healthy!
Terrific recipe. Complex flavor with only three ingredients. And quick and easy. Absolutely will make this again.
Wow. Just three ingredients and it tastes so complex. I had everything on hand (for a change), it went together quickly, and I loved every bite.
Can't wait to try this!
I will try it. Looks amazing
I had no green onions but I used broccoli instead and everyone loved it. My husband is planning to grow mushrooms at home since then.
Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious! My three teens loved it served on rice! Fruit for dessert, perfect meal
Used a mixture of yellow and gray mushrooms; my only comment/change was it needed salt and I added a splash of sherry in the final cooking off the last liquid. Very yummy and lovely change from meat.
Love this resipe thanks Julia im hooked John
Hi, this is Chinese stir fry cooking.. Not American cuisine .. Some recipes you can stir fry it with chopped garlic and just season with a little bit of oyster sauce instead. You can add in carrots and broccoli too. Delicious!
Oh please the Chinese did not invent stir fry or sautee, it’s done everywhere in the world. Only thing is the most common chinese recipes call for stir fry.. if she says it American, it’s American!
LOL. The Chinese actually *did* invent the stir fry cooking technique, and it has since been adopted all over the world. That doesn't detract from the recipe or from Julia. And I think it would be delicious with carrots and broccoli. Thanks Lin and Julia.
