Ingredients

• 500 grams button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary and slice the mushrooms into even pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Increase the heat slightly and add the sliced mushrooms. Stir to coat them in the buttery garlic mixture.

Step 6

Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

Step 7

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms.

Step 10

Transfer the zesty mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish, or use as a topping for toast, pasta, or salads.
