Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh Lion’s Mane mushrooms

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • ½ tsp Shroom-Mates Umami Mushroom Seasoning

  • ½ tsp sea salt, or to taste

  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • Optional: ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Prepare the Lion’s Mane
Gently clean the Lion’s Mane mushrooms and tear or slice them into bite-sized pieces. Avoid soaking them in water so they don't become overly wet.

2. Heat the skillet
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Sauté the mushrooms
Add the Lion’s Mane mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, gently pressing them with a spatula as they cook, until golden brown and tender.

4. Add the garlic and butter
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring gently, until the garlic is fragrant and the butter coats the mushrooms.

5. Season
Add the thyme, parsley, Umami Mushroom Seasoning, salt and black pepper. Toss gently and cook for another 1 minute.

6. Finish with lemon
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the mushrooms with fresh lemon juice. Add red pepper flakes or Parmesan if desired.

7. Serve
Serve immediately as a savory side dish or pair with steak, chicken, pasta, rice or roasted vegetables.
