Why Mushrooms Rock (Quick Intro Before We Dive In)

Mushroom benefits infographic

Mushrooms pack low calories but high flavor. They boost immunity, fight inflammation, and add meaty texture to veggie dishes.

Various types of edible mushrooms labeled

From button to shiitake, each type brings unique taste. IMO, mixing varieties creates the best dishes :)

1. Garlic Butter Sautéed Mushrooms

Garlic butter sautéed mushrooms in pan

This simple side tops my list for good reason. You melt butter with olive oil, add tons of garlic, and toss in sliced cremini or button mushrooms.

They turn golden and absorb all that garlicky goodness. Who needs steak when these shine alone? FYI, add white wine for extra fancy.

  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat butter and oil in large skillet over medium-high.

  4. Flip, add garlic, cook 3 more minutes.
  5. Season generously, toss with parsley.
  6. Serve hot – they disappear fast!
