Sauteed Mushrooms Recipe

These sauteed mushrooms have a sticky soy & honey glaze that makes them so much better than you'd expect from an 18-minute side dish.

Ingredients

  • 600 g chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, removed from sprigs

Cupboard Essentials

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt and Pepper
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Preheat a large cast iron or stainless steel pan over high heat. Once hot, add half of the mushrooms and olive oil.
  • Leave to brown for 5 minutes, then stir and fry for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat for the next batch of mushrooms.
  • Add the first batch of mushrooms back into the pan and reduce the heat to medium/low.
  • Next, add the garlic, fresh thyme, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and honey. Season generously with salt and pepper, then continue to saute for a further 3 minutes.
  • Serve up and enjoy!

Notes

  •  If you’re in a rush, you can fry the mushrooms in one batch. Frying in two batches achieves more browning/better colour, but the flavour is still great if you need to cook in one batch in a hurry.
  • Salt goes in at the end, not the beginning. Adding it too early draws out moisture & ruins the sear before it has a chance to develop.
  • Clean your mushrooms with a damp paper towel rather than rinsing them under the tap. They absorb water like a sponge and any excess will go straight into the pan.
  • A heavy cast iron or stainless steel pan is ideal as non-stick pans struggle to hold the high heat you need for a proper crust.
