Notes

  • Find mushrooms of similar size: This helps ensure even cooking.
  • Variety matters: Shiitake mushrooms are fantastic, but feel free to use other varieties like Cremini or wild mushrooms.
  • Avoid overcrowding: This will help your mushrooms caramelize better.
  • Covering the pan: This allows the garlic's oils to infuse the mushrooms, adding rich flavors.
