Ingredients
- 500 grams mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 onion
- olive oil
- 5 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- dry basil
- salt (optional)
- black pepper to taste
- fresh herbs to serve
Instructions
- 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.
- While mushrooms are on the stove, chop and add onion to the pan.
- 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!
