Want to know how to make garlic mushrooms? The recipe is easy and it hardly takes any time at all! Garlic mushrooms go well with many dishes, such as vegetarian burgers, salad and chips, jacket potatoes, a fry-up at night and many other dishes. Though you might just want garlic mushrooms on toast!
Ingredients:
- Garlic granules (sorry I don’t use fresh garlic!)
- Butter or Margarine.
- The mushrooms!
Step 1 – Wash and chop the mushrooms.
I always wash the mushrooms under the tap, which I advise you do as well. Now mushrooms do shrink down, so don’t prepare too few, then realise you end up with a small portion!
I tend to chop the mushrooms into quarters if small, if button mushrooms I leave them as is, but if really large then I slice them into segments, but not too thin.
Step 2 – Heat the margarine and add the garlic.
I use a small metal pan for a portion of garlic mushrooms for two people. I add a large chunk of margarine and let it melt slightly. Then I add a teaspoon of garlic granules to the margarine, though the amount you add will be personal preference. I stir it around until the margarine has melted and the garlic granules are mixed in.
Step 3 – Add the chopped mushrooms and cook.
Now I add the chopped mushrooms and place the lid on the saucepan. I don’t completely cover the saucepan with the lid, but leave a small gap for steam to leave.
I have another saucepan, which has vents on the side of the lid, which allows some steam to leave. The steam is helping to cook the garlic mushrooms, resulting in less margarine being required.
However I never cook without the lid, as it helps heat up and thoroughly cook the mushrooms, but leaves them moist, not shrivelled.
I will stir them once or twice over a twenty minute period or more until cooked, and then serve them hot.
Et Voilà!
Yum! So delicious … this is ‘junk’ food for vegetarians (one of my favourite meals). Even though I’ve already had dinner, I’d love to have a plate of this right now! 🙂
