Ingredients

Garlic Butter Shiitake Mushrooms

Serves: 4
Cook Time: 15 minutes

  • 8 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • ½ tsp Shroom-Mates Umami Seasoning

  • ½ tsp sea salt, or to taste

  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or balsamic vinegar (optional)

Shroom-Mates Tip:

Our Umami Seasoning is the secret ingredient that takes these shiitake mushrooms to the next level. Start with ½ teaspoon and add more to taste.

Directions

1. Prepare the mushrooms

Clean the shiitake mushrooms and remove the stems. Slice the mushroom caps into approximately ¼-inch pieces.

2. Heat the skillet

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and begin to foam.

3. Add the garlic

Add the minced garlic and cook for approximately 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.

4. Cook the shiitake mushrooms

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms become tender and develop golden-brown edges.

5. Season

Add the thyme, parsley, Shroom-Mates Umami Seasoning, salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the mushrooms.

For an extra boost of flavor, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or balsamic vinegar and cook for another minute.

6. Serve

Serve immediately while warm.

These garlic butter shiitake mushrooms make an excellent side dish for steak, chicken, pork, pasta or rice. They are also fantastic served over toast or mixed into scrambled eggs.

Recipe Tip

Don't overcrowd the skillet. Give the mushrooms room to brown rather than steam. If you're making a larger batch, cook them in two batches for the best texture.
