Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 oz oyster mushrooms pearl or golden varieties preferred
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped or grated
  • 0.25 cup fresh Italian parsley chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Nonstick Skillet

Method
 

  1. Gently pat the oyster mushrooms with a clean towel to remove any moisture. Trim off the tough base stems.
  2. Tear or slice large clusters into bite-sized pieces. Leave smaller ones whole.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil.
  4. Place the mushrooms in a single layer. Sear for 3–4 minutes without moving until golden brown.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then toss and cook for another minute. Transfer mushrooms to a platter.
  6. Turn off the heat. Add butter, garlic, and parsley to the hot pan. Stir until the butter melts and garlic is fragrant.
  7. Drizzle garlic butter over the mushrooms and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. Cook in batches if your pan is small to avoid steaming the mushrooms.
