COOKING THE MUSHROOMS

  • Heat a large pan or skillet over medium. Melt the vegan butter and add the olive oil.
  • Once hot, add the button mushrooms. Leave the button mushrooms untouched for 3-4 minutes to brown on one side before moving to brown the other side. You want to cook the mushrooms over medium to medium high heat so that they get a nice brown on the outside and don’t release extra water.
  • Once the mushrooms are browned, you can add a bit more olive oil to sauté the garlic and chiles (if using).
  • Season the mushrooms with vegetarian oyster sauce, smoked paprika, sugar, and liquid seasoning to taste.

SERVE AND ENJOY: WITH GARLIC RICE OR OVER TOAST

You can opt to enjoy these garlic mushrooms however way you want. I had half with garlic rice and the rest served over slices of bread. Both were delicious and so hearty!

WITH GARLIC RICE

If making garlic rice, use the same pan as the mushrooms. You can heat a bit more oil and then add some more minced garlic and cook until lightly brown. Add in the leftover rice (leftover rice is best for fried rice!) and mix well with the remaining garlic bits and sauce from the pan. Feel free to season the rice with some salt, if desired.

SERVE AND ENJOY YOUR MUSHROOMS

These are great for a hearty meal, whether its for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I really love mushrooms and their versatility, texture, and of course those flavours!

    So good & easy. I make this all the time for a quick lunch. My non-vegetarian husband likes them, my friend liked them so much he has already recreated the recipe on his own. ??
