Garlic Mushrooms

I love mushrooms and this Garlic Mushrooms recipe is perfect enjoyed 2 ways: over toast or with a side of garlic rice! This is also delicious enjoyed as a side with your favourite main. Adding sliced chiles adds that extra kick of spice and flavour.

📝 Ingredients

• 12.5 oz fresh button mushrooms ( or other mushrooms of choice)
• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 head garlic (peeled and minced)
• 2 green chiles (, I used banana peppers - thinly sliced (optional for heat))
• 1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• Liquid seasoning (, I used Knorr liquid seasoning or salt, to taste)
• Leftover rice for garlic rice
• Bread for toast
• Chopped parsley (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice the button mushrooms in half. If using other mushrooms, you can slice or break these apart.
2. 2Heat a large pan or skillet over medium. Melt the vegan butter and add the olive oil.
3. 3Once hot, add the button mushrooms. Leave the button mushrooms untouched for 3-4 minutes to brown on one side before moving to brown the other side. You want to cook the mushrooms over medium to medium high heat so that they get a nice brown on the outside and don’t release extra water.
4. 4Once the mushrooms are browned, you can add a bit more olive oil to sauté the garlic and chiles (if using).
5. 5Season the mushrooms with vegetarian oyster sauce, smoked paprika, sugar, and liquid seasoning to taste.
6. 6If making garlic rice, use the same pan as the mushrooms. You can heat a bit more oil and then add some more minced garlic and cook until lightly brown. Add in the leftover rice (leftover rice is best for fried rice!) and mix well with the remaining garlic bits and sauce from the pan. Feel free to season the rice with some salt, if desired.
7. 7Serve and enjoy with your side of garlic rice or over toast. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
