Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will have a more flavorful and tender texture than canned or dried mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms properly. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. Do not wash the mushrooms under running water, as this can make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. This will give the mushrooms plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat. This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Season the mushrooms generously. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Add a splash of liquid. This could be water, broth, wine, or even cream. This will help prevent the mushrooms from drying out.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. They can be served as a side dish, main course, or even as a topping for pizza or pasta.
