Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Large skillet or saute pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g fresh lions mane mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 –3 cloves garlic minced finely
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Clean The Mushrooms:
- Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently wipe any dirt off the lions mane mushrooms. Don’t soak them just clean enough to get the debris off. Tear them into smaller, bite sized pieces with your hands.
Heat Up The Pan:
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and pour in some olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Don’t crowd the pan this helps them brown nicely.
Cook The Mushrooms:
- Let them sit untouched for about 3–4 minutes so they develop a golden crust. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side until they’re browned all over.
Add Garlic And Herbs:
- Toss in the minced garlic and a bit of thyme or parsley. Stir and cook for another minute or two, just until everything smells amazing.
Finish With Butter And Soy Sauce:
- Lower the heat a little. Add the butter and a splash of soy sauce, stirring everything together so the mushrooms get coated in that rich, savoury flavour. Let it all cook for another minute or two.
Final Touches:
- Give it a taste and add salt and black pepper if needed. Serve while warm great as a hearty side or a simple plant-based main dish.
