Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to three days, but the flavor is freshest on the first day.
  • Freezing: It's best to avoid freezing sautéed mushrooms, as the texture may become mushy upon thawing. Enjoy them fresh!
  • Pairing: These mushrooms go wonderfully with a variety of dishes like steak, chicken, or a hearty grain bowl. They can also be tossed into pasta dishes for an extra flavor boost.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: When cooking, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. If necessary, sauté in batches to ensure even cooking.
  • Try Variations: Feel free to adapt the recipe by adding different herbs or spices. A sprinkle of chili flakes can add a nice kick!
