💡SAP CHEF SECRET TIP

"Never wash mushrooms with water right before cooking! Wipe them with a damp towel or they will stew instead of caramelizing."

🛒Ingredients

▪400g Button Mushrooms, wiped clean
▪3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
▪1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
▪6 cloves Garlic, finely minced
▪1 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
▪1 tbsp Fresh Parsley & Thyme, chopped
▪1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
▪1 tbsp Lemon Juice

👨‍🍳Step-by-Step Instructions

1Prep Mushrooms

Wipe mushrooms dry with a clean paper towel. Trim stems slightly. Keep whole for small ones, halve larger mushrooms.

2High Heat Sear

Heat olive oil in a wide heavy skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms in a single layer without crowding. Sear for 4 mins without moving until browning occurs.

3Add Butter & Garlic Aromatics

Lower heat to medium, drop in butter and minced garlic. Baste mushrooms with foaming garlic butter for 3-4 minutes.

4Finish with Herbs

Toss in chilli flakes, fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.

🔥Pro Execution Notes

Dry pan sear first without salt! Adding salt early draws out water, preventing that golden caramelized crust.
Use a mixture of butter and olive oil to prevent butter from burning at high temperatures.
