Equipment
- Cutting board
- Chef’s knife
- Frying pan or skillet
- Spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 400 g eryngii mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or substitute with butter for a richer flavor
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or use rosemary as an alternative
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or balsamic vinegar for a tangier profile
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional Garnishes: sliced green onions chopped parsley, lemon zest, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Prep The Mushrooms:
- Wipe the eryngii mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them lengthwise into thick, even pieces so they cook at the same rate.
Light Seasoning:
- If you like, toss the slices in a bowl with a pinch of salt, some pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Warm The Pan:
- Set a skillet over medium high heat and add the rest of the oil or a bit of butter. Let it heat until the oil shimmers or the butter starts to foam.
Sear:
- Lay the mushroom slices in the pan in a single layer. Don’t crowd them. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until they turn golden and the edges crisp up a little.
Add Flavor:
- Turn the heat down to medium. Stir in the garlic and thyme for about 30 seconds, just until aromatic. Splash in the soy sauce or balsamic vinegar and gently coat the mushrooms.
Finish And Serve:
- Move everything to a plate. Top with green onions, parsley, lemon zest, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if you want a brighter finish.
