Ingredients

Mushrooms

  • 1
    500 grams Parasol Mushrooms

Aromatics

  • 1
    4 pieces Garlic Cloves

Herbs

  • 1

Fats

  • 1
    4 tablespoons Olive Oil

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 2
    0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

1

Prepare the Mushrooms

Clean the parasol mushrooms using a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water as they can become soggy. If the stems are thick, slice them into smaller pieces. If caps are large, cut them into halves or quarters.

2

Slice the Garlic

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set aside.

3

Prepare the Nepitella

Gently wash the nepitella sprigs and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

4

Heat the Oil

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is large enough to comfortably hold all the mushrooms without overcrowding them.

5

Sauté the Garlic

Add the sliced garlic to the hot oil. Saute for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Burnt garlic will have a bitter taste.

6

Cook the Mushrooms

Add the sliced parasol mushrooms to the skillet. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer as much as possible. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and tender. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

7

Season the Mushrooms

Once the mushrooms are cooked and have a nice color, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

8

Add Nepitella

Add the fresh nepitella sprigs to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the herbs to infuse the mushrooms with their unique flavor. Remove the pan from the heat.

9

Serve

Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Be careful, the skillet and oil will be hot!

Recipe Tips

  • If you cannot find nepitella, you can substitute with fresh oregano or marjoram for a similar flavor profile.
  • When cleaning the mushrooms, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove the dirt. Avoid soaking them in water as they will become soggy.
  • Store fresh mushrooms in a paper bag in the refrigerator to ensure they stay fresh. Use within 2-3 days.
  • Ensure the pan is not overcrowded to allow the mushrooms to fry properly, otherwise they will steam instead.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
