Garlic mushrooms

The garlic mushrooms are an ideal way to enjoy mushrooms. In this case, we make garlic button mushrooms, since it’s a recipe you can make all year round. It’s an easy and effective recipe.

Garlic mushrooms are a perfect appetizer and a fabulous side for meats and fish. You’ll even want to mix the mushrooms into pasta and rice, because they’re a flavorful staple that’s very popular.

Whether just with button mushrooms or using a mix of mushrooms (from shiitake to chanterelles, saffron milk caps... or your favorite mushrooms), I invite you to try the recipe we bring you if you haven’t made it yet.

This recipe is a great way to make the most of the Fissler Sensored frying pan, since we need to sauté the ingredients and the pan’s thermo-sensitive nonstick coating will visually indicate the right moment to add them. In the video Eva explains it very well, both how to use the pan and the step-by-step for these garlic button mushrooms.

How to make garlic mushrooms (or garlic button mushrooms)

Ingredients

• 500gr of button mushrooms or mixed mushrooms
• 8 garlic cloves
• 1 drizzle of olive oil
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper

Preparation

1. Peel and slice 4 or 5 garlic cloves.
2. We put the pan on the heat (the Fissler Sensored nonstick frying pan). Turn the heat on to medium, and when the pan is hot and ready to cook* we add a generous drizzle of olive oil (covering practically the entire bottom) and the sliced garlic. We want them to brown.
3. While the garlic cooks, clean the mushrooms with a knife, removing the tip and peeling the top. Cut them into quarters or smaller if you prefer, but it’s important that all pieces are uniform so they cook evenly.
4. When the garlic is golden, remove it from the pan and set it aside in a bowl. It’s important to keep the garlic-infused oil in the pan.
5. Add the mushrooms to the pan (we’ll know the pan is at the right temperature because the Sensored pan loses the brown speckles on its interior when it’s heated).
6. Stir the pan while cooking so they cook properly. When the mushrooms are almost done, return the garlic to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
7. Leave for a moment longer and remove from the heat. Ready to serve!

Notes

• *We say the pan should be ready to cook because the Sensored pan indicates when it’s hot at the right temperature for a good sauté or frying — the spots on its interior disappear when it’s time to add the food.
• Normally, when making an 'ajillo' we don’t remove the garlic from the pan and after flavoring the oil we automatically add the prawns, fish, or meat we’re going to cook. But since mushrooms are delicate and to make the recipe easier, it’s better to remove the garlic. This also ensures it doesn’t burn.
• The Sensored pans have been awarded in Germany for their design and innovative concept. They’re practical pans for those seeking the convenience of nonstick even for frying, being very durable and showing you the optimal point to cook.
• The Sensored pan also exists in a wok format (the Sensored nonstick wok), which is ideal since with a wok you always want to know when it’s hot enough to sauté, and that’s indicated by the temperature (and shown by the Sensored nonstick).
