Ingredients for sautéed mushrooms with onions:

• 500 grams mushrooms (cremini or button);
• 1 onion;
• olive oil;
• 5 tbsps. soy sauce;
• 1 tsp. garlic powder;
• dry basil;
• Salt (optional), black pepper to taste;
• fresh herbs to serve.

How to sauté perfect mushrooms on the stove:

• First, let’s rinse mushrooms under running cold water (use only cold water as under warm water mushrooms get covered by dark spots). Do not leave them to soak in water for a long time. Use a mushroom brush if you have one.

• After cleaning the mushrooms, blot them with paper towels. Now, it’s time to slice mushrooms. We quartered them, but you can cut them in whatever shape you want.

• Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add quartered mushrooms and sauté them until they turn golden (around 5 minutes). Stir occasionally and let all the liquid evaporate.

Here is another tip: to get a perfect caramelized crust do not stir mushrooms a lot. Let them sit on each side for some time!

• While mushrooms are on the stove, chop and add onion to the pan.

• Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and soft.

• Stir in soy sauce with dry basil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let mushrooms sear in a mixture of herbs and soy sauce for approximately 10 minutes. The goal is for mushrooms to absorb the mouth-watering flavor of herbs and get slightly caramelized while leaving some liquid in a pan. Sauté mushrooms stirring occasionally until cooked.

• The salt here is optional. Soy sauce already adds saltiness to the dish alongside great flavor! To serve, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over mushrooms!
