Most people I see, struggle when making mushrooms. I see people salting in the beginning, or washing them first, and adding ingredients in a different order. Mushrooms consist of 80-90% water and will do all the work FOR YOU in a DRY pan if you let them (let your food speak to you). No oil, butter, or salt is even needed until the very last step. Cooking mushrooms in a dry pan will give you the most beautiful outcome (in my opinion), texture, and colour as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨Tips for cooking the BEST mushrooms ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Never wash mushrooms. Wipe off any dirt with a damp paper towel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. You don’t need any oil or butter in the pan initially. Mushrooms consist of 80-90% water and they will do all the work in a DRY pan on medium-high heat. At first they will start to brown and then start to release all of their moisture and the water will completely evaporate. When the pan is dry they begin to brown again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Never salt the mushrooms in the beginning. Salt draws out moisture and will make them extremely mushy. We want a nice meaty delicious bite to them with colour and texture. Salt at the end always. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Once the water has completely evaporated and the mushrooms start to brown, reduce the heat to low (or take it off the heat) and add a touch of butter and aromatics like thyme. You can use salted butter OR unsalted butter but make sure to salt the mushrooms at the very end once they are off the heat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Don’t overcrowd the pan and cook them in a single layer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨You can find the full printable recipe with all tips and directions on my website which is linked in my bio.
