Ingredients

Main

  • 1
    1 pound Parasol Mushrooms

Cooking

  • 1
    0.75 cup Olive Oil
  • 2
    2 unit Garlic Cloves
  • 3
    1 unit Fresh Thyme Sprig
  • 4
    0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 5
    0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Garnish

  • 1
    1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley

Directions

1

Clean the Mushrooms

Carefully clean the parasol mushrooms with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid soaking them in water, as they can become waterlogged.

2

Slice the Mushrooms

Slice the larger mushrooms into 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick slices. If using smaller mushrooms, leave them whole. The goal is to create slices or pieces that cook evenly.

3

Prepare the Garlic

Peel and lightly smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife. This helps release their flavor without letting them burn during cooking.

4

Warm the Oil

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, pour the olive oil. Place the skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the oil to warm gently, avoid getting it too hot to prevent burning of garlic and mushrooms.

5

Infuse the Oil

Add the smashed garlic cloves and the thyme sprig to the oil. Let them infuse the oil for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish. Remove the garlic and thyme before adding the mushrooms

6

Add the Mushrooms

Carefully add the sliced or whole parasol mushrooms to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. Season with salt and pepper.

7

Slowly Fry the Mushrooms

Cook the mushrooms over medium-low heat. The mushrooms will slowly release their moisture. Continue cooking until the moisture evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to brown and develop a slightly crispy edge. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

8

Drain the Mushrooms

Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This helps maintain their crispy texture.

9

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle the cooked mushrooms with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Recipe Tips

  • Avoid washing mushrooms to maintain their texture; use a brush or damp cloth instead.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches to ensure even browning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even heat distribution and to prevent burning.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size and thickness of your mushrooms.
